south korea's president "watched too much youtube"    pacific/inside-south-koreas-right-w ing-youtube-world-openly-embraced-b y-yoon-2024-12-16/ yoon was impeached and removed from duties on saturday in a contentious parliamentary vote over his dec. 3 martial law decree, sparking a constitutional crisis and splitting yoon's own conservative people power party (ppp). ppp leader han dong-hoon, a former confidant of yoon who went on to advocate for the president's impeachment, announced his resignation on monday and blamed south korea's right-wing media for creating divisions among conservatives. "if we sympathise with extremists like the conspiracy theorists and extreme youtubers, or if we are consumed by their commercially produced fears, there is no future for conservatism," said han, who was a common target of ko's criticism. a columnist for the conservative-leaning joongang ilbo newspaper on friday said yoon's "youtube addiction" had ruined his regime. "if you are addicted to youtube, you fall into a world of delusion dominated by conspiracy theories... president yoon watched too much youtube," the column said.
