In a stark reflection of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's downward spiral, a recent rumor has been circulating, highlighting the president's misguided attribution of his success to personal abilities rather than luck. This alarming trend is a stark reminder of the administration's precarious state, with many warnings of an impending collapse.

The president's inner circle, comprised of sycophants rather
than loyal advisors, has created a toxic environment where only those who cater
to Yoon's whims are heard. The pro-US and pro-Japan factions have hijacked the
administration's agenda, with Deputy Chief Secretary for Security Counsel of presidential
office, Kim Tae-woo, prioritizing Japan's feelings over the nation's interests.
As the administration's popularity plummets, the principle
of "the worse, the better" has taken hold. The exodus of competent
officials has left behind a vacuum of poor-quality advisors, all vying for
power and favor. The saying "escape is based on intelligence" has
become a mantra in the legal community, as those who remain in the presidential
office risk facing investigations and repercussions.
The decline in approval ratings has led to a breakdown in
communication between public officials and the administration. The National
Intelligence Service, police, and military, exploited by the prosecution, are
now leaking power and information, as seen in the recent issuance of warrants
for the president's phone records and the military court's release of
communication data.
If the administration continues down this
prosecution-centered path, the next administration will likely dismantle the
prosecution. With numerous risks looming, Yoon Suk-yeol's administration is on
the precipice of collapse. The accumulation of information about the
president's inner circle within the police and National Intelligence Service
threatens to erupt into a nationwide issue, exposing internal corruption and
further destabilizing the government.
Yoon Suk-yeol's greatest weakness lies in the presence of a
prominent future power candidate, Lee Jae-myung, who will undoubtedly retaliate
against the administration's attempts to eliminate him. With approval ratings
hovering around 20-30%, the organization's trust in Yoon Suk-yeol is dwindling
rapidly.
As the administration faces numerous enormous crises in the
coming month, many are bracing for impact. The court's acknowledgment of Kim
Gun-hee's stock price manipulating profits, amounting to 2.3 billion Korean won,
has raised questions about the prosecution's handling of the case. A thorough
investigation would have treated this as a conspiracy, prompting calls for a
special prosecutor to take over the case.
As the Yoon Suk-yeol administration teeters on the brink of
collapse, one thing is certain – the consequences of its downfall will be
far-reaching and devastating. The people of South Korea can only watch in
anticipation as the situation unfolds, hoping that the next administration will
bring much-needed stability and accountability to the government.
