I've sunset the redirect account @jintakhan.bsky.social since @bsky.app has largely addressed this issue. It would be nice if the handle continued to redirect to custom domain handles, but at least they are listening.

It's no exaggeration to say there is a torrent of news in South Korea right now. Blinken is visiting, while investigators trying to figure out how/when to arrest Yoon, impeachment trials of Yoon and the impeached PM under prep, ongoing Jeju Air investigation, now a North Korean ballistic missile.

This photo circulating this morning as Yoon spoke for the 1st time since declaring martial law, with a wholehearted defense of his actions. The ajusshi-throwing-soju-bottle photo existed, and someone photoshopped Yoon in. Pretty much captures the mood here right now. (Reposting w/correct caption)
