with a round up of the events so far surrounding this fast moving story, here's our south east asia correspondentjonathan head. even in a country known for its rough and tumble politics, this was a bolt from the blue. the elected president suspending democracy and calling in the army to deal, he said, with the threat from north korea and what he called "anti—state forces" within minutes, soldiers surrounded the korean parliament, evoking unhappy memories of the military rule which was overthrown back in the 1980s. but plenty of ordinary koreans were there, too, jostling with the army to protest against this extraordinary move by president yoon against their hard—won democracy. i thought it was a joke when i heard it on the news, said this woman.
