WTF is that all about ?, just declared martial law to protect itself against the North and anti-state elements.

Maybe better to keep an eye on HMGOV Travel Advice. May invalidate your travel insurance if you travel against their advice. Whole thing sounds like bolleaux anyways. Good luck and enjoy your trip

I'm in South Korea right now, and in fact spent the day at the Demilitarised Zone between N and S Korea. There's been a lot of police on the streets here in Seoul but mostly connected with anti-government demos going on rather than heightened tension with North Korea. There was a massive march against the government here on Saturday which was loud and large but I saw no violence. Word on the street here is that martial law is all about the president trying to save his skin rather than any new issue with the North. Everything seems to be proceeding as normal. People bemused rather than panicking.

Nonsense. There will be no problem for tourists. What’s your expertise on Korean politics that means you can offer people such travel advice?

Sadly not. The usual mixture of K-Pop and Son Heung-Min documentaries from what I can see.

Sounds like it's over before it began.
ALL MARTIAL LAW TROOPS LEAVE SOUTH KOREAN PARLIAMENT
This comes after a decisive parliamentary vote, where all lawmakers (190-0) voted to lift the martial law announced by the president.

I'd love to play in a match against our government, and smash the shit out of them

You’ll be absolutely fine. S Korea is a modern democracy. Seoul is a huge city that functions much better than London. Millions of people live and work here and get on with their lives while a few hotheads shout in the street. Huge numbers of tourists too.
Enjoy your holiday. Don’t spend too long in Seoul if you can help it. Great city but I don’t think you need spend more than 3 or 4 days here unless you have a particular reason for doing so. Next time we’ll go to Busan and other smaller places.
Post #666 doesn’t produce positive vibes…
