| 0:01.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:04.5 | So today, we're going to talk about how things are shaping up in South Korea. |
| 0:10.3 | So if you missed it, there will be a video down below. |
| 0:14.0 | But a short recap is that the President of South Korea briefly declared martial law this week. |

| 1:42.1 | Even though the official party line is that the President's party will |
| 1:46.1 | unite to defend him, there is some doubt as to whether they will have enough votes to do that. |
