00:03but South Korean President Yun Suk-kyo's perception of a clear and present danger

00:08of North Korean spies in the halls of Parliament or elsewhere in the bureaucracy

00:12did not suffice at all or warrant a declaration of military rule.

00:16And when he finally declared this emergency measure in his toolkit,

00:19it awoke an enraged citizenry and prompted a defiant Parliament to resist his call

00:24and threaten impeachment against him if he did not walk back his order.

00:45that nearly ruined its cherished ways and ideals of democracy,
