Just days after South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol’s failed martial law order, memes and parody posts suggesting it had been carried out to protect his wife, Kim Keon-hee, began to circulate on social media.
According to a report that appeared in the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on December 12, one of the memes that went viral on social media platforms in South Korea read: “Yoon, the greatest lover who declared martial law for his wife.” Others have appeared comparing Kim to Lady Macbeth and Marie Antoinette.
