Why was martial law declared in South Korea on December 3? What happens next for President Yoon Suk Yeol as he faces impeachment? What does this mean for South Korea and its relations with the U.S., China, Japan and the world?
Joining Mark Lippert and Victor Cha to discuss this and more were Michelle Ye Hee Lee from the Washington Post and Sydney Seiler from CSIS.
Michelle Ye Hee Lee is The Washington Post's Tokyo bureau chief, reporting on Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Previously, she covered money and influence in politics and voting access on the national political enterprise and accountability team and was a reporter for The Post's Fact Checker. Prior to joining The Post in 2014, she was a government accountability reporter at the Arizona Republic in Phoenix.
Sydney Seiler was the national intelligence officer for North Korea at the National Intelligence Council from 2020 to 2023 and is one of the nation’s top experts on North Korea. He has three decades of experience watching North Korea and 12 years of serving in South Korea.
The Capital Cable is made possible through general support to CSIS.
