> The challenging political situation in South Korea is a moment for critical reflection about the fluctuations of democracy, which compels us to question its form. The Martial Law incident of December 3, 2024, has left a wake of sociopolitical distresses, whether for good or ill, including the impeachment and prosecution of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the fracturing of political parties, the public's distrust of elite politicians, and protests from the left to the right that are on-going. This dialogue is to ponder the legal, social, and political ramifications of December Third, as well as the meaning of democracy in South Korea and around the world.
