Nathan Chung: South Korea’s failed coup of 2024 holds warnings and lessons
On Dec. 3, 2024, South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol attempted a self-coup by declaring emergency martial law. He and his wife were facing various criminal charges, and his party had only about one third of the seats in the National Assembly, the legislature. Yoon sent soldiers to the legislators’ building to prevent them from exercising their constitutional power to vote down the martial law. They still managed to vote, aided by citizens who surrounded the building to delay the soldiers. On April 4, the Constitutional Court impeached Yoon, who is currently in jail and on trial for insurrection.

Worth every penny: Cherry season is short and sweet
My father used to say that we are all cheap in our own ways. I prefer to use the terms “frugal,” “economical,” or “cost conscious.” Still, I knew what he meant. Whatever our budgets may be (and mine is sometimes very small), we each establish personal priorities about how we want to use those budgets.
