When South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol cited claims of election hacking and ¡°anti-state¡± pro-North Korean sympathizers as justification for imposing a short-lived martial law, right-wing YouTuber Ko Sung-kook had heard it before.

In fact, Ko had made the same claims himself many times to the 1.1 million subscribers of his Kosungkook TV channel on YouTube.

¡°If President Yoon Suk Yeol listens to the voices of YouTubers attentively, he may understand what the people really think, what the public sentiment of the president¡¯s supporters are, that¡¯s what I¡¯m expecting,¡± Ko said.
