On December 8, 2024, South Korea’s No Cut News reported that “there have been a series of cases of people postponing or canceling trips to South Korea due to political instability such as the declaration of emergency martial law and the rejection of impeachment proceedings,” and that “the travel and tourism industry, which had been hoping for a special boom during the New Year period, is being affected by political instability.” According to South Korea’s travel and tourism industry, since President Yoon Seok-yeol declared a state of emergency on the night of the 3rd and lifted it on the 4th, travel agencies and hotels have been receiving a flood of questions about whether it is possible to travel to South Korea. In fact, Japanese school trip groups canceled their visits to South Korea. A Saudi Arabian prince and his party, who had planned to visit South Korea through a travel agency, have also reportedly canceled their plans. One luxury hotel in Seoul has seen 10 cancellations since the declaration of martial law. Another hotel also saw 5% of its year-end banquet reservations canceled. Foreign governments are also adjusting their plans to visit Korea one after another. Swedish Prime Minister Kristjensen postponed his visit to South Korea after the declaration of martial law, and the defense ministers of the United States and Kazakhstan also canceled or put on hold their visits to South Korea. South Korea’s travel industry is concerned that the political uncertainty will spread and lead to an increase in cancellations of trips and visits to South Korea. In response to this situation, the South Korean government, the Korea Tourism Organization, and travel-related private associations and organizations have announced their intention to form a joint task force and take action. Korean internet users who saw this article asked, “Who will compensate for these economic and diplomatic losses? The ruling party must immediately agree to impeachment,” “We were just recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic,” and “Because of President Yoon, we have become a backward country in an instant. Why is it the people who have to suffer? It will take at least 20 years to restore its image.” “One incompetent person destroyed the country. What else can you call this but a crime of treason?” “Korea is a safe country. There are voices saying things like, “Please come on a trip.” Other comments included, “If your purpose in traveling is to have fun, it’s better not to come now,” and “You’re worrying too much.” Martial law was quickly lifted and the president apologized. There will be no major impact on the economy.” (Translated and edited by Domoto).

So South Korea was a safe place…! Shocking!
North Korea is dropping nuclear bombs all the time, right?
It’s extremely dangerous, school trips are outrageous
To make students experience war in a place where their safety can’t be guaranteed? That’s stupid.

If you want tourists to come back, at least refrain from protests. It’s scarier than the military.

Trip cancellations by Japanese people will be considered an act of hostility.

The industry isn’t happy about this because the Zaikos aren’t spending money.

That’s how the martial law troops were, but I guess normal people are still scared. Maybe conscription is the reason Koreans are so strong-willed.

If a group trip were to go ahead under these circumstances and something were to happen, the trip planners would not be able to escape responsibility. If we do not consider the meaning of martial law, things will become irreversible.

If anything, the current Yun Yun is the most sensible president in history, so when those stupid Koreans were told the truth, they just went crazy.

Is a country where laws are meaningless safe?
What is the basis for its safety?
The minds of Koreans who claim safety without any basis are not safe. If it’s not against the law, there’s no legal punishment. An act that was lawful at the time it was performed cannot be made illegal later. This is something that should never be violated.

Not at all!
It’s only natural for Koreans to fail, they’re only good at destroying things
And their heads are full of shit, so they can’t do anything about it.

It seems that dangerous countries that even the Prime Minister won’t visit are the responsibility of the people themselves.

It seems like you’re misunderstanding this, but it’s not that people are being made to feel dangerous because of martial law, it’s that people are being wary of the dangers of demonstrations. Only Koreans think that demonstrations are a high level of democracy, so they’re just riots.

The British Foreign Office warned its citizens that “demonstrations are expected around Gwanghwamun, the Presidential Office, and the National Assembly (Yeouido).”

That’s all
Korean groups are dangerous in the first place.

Both Korea and China are dangerous, so if you’re going, go to Taiwan.

Yup, the food in Taiwan is amazing!
It’s also very safe!

You shouldn’t travel to a politically unstable country.
54<丶`∀´>(´・ω・`)(`Ha´ )san.Dec. 10, 2024 (Tue) 11:31:47.15ID:w6ydhgtC
South Korea is also saying this, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should raise the level of their travel warnings quickly!
Do your job sometimes.
