President Yoon Seated in Front Row of Funeral for Queen Elizabeth with President Biden

The ROK President was shown a lot of respect being seated in the front row with Presidents Biden and Macron:

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol attended the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London on Monday, one of hundreds of world leaders who gathered here to honor the legacy of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.

Yoon and first lady Kim Keon-hee attended the funeral service at Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m. They were seated in the 14th row in the section reserved for foreign leaders, behind French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, and in the same row as U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife.

“President Yoon mourned the death of the queen, who demonstrated through practice the solidarity of liberal democratic nations during her 70-year reign,” the presidential office said.

I hate to be the one to break it to you all but seating at these events rotates so each country’s domestic propaganda gets a quick picture of their guy in an important position with important people before he is told to fùck off back to the peanut gallery.

However, we know America and the media has turned against Biden when they use this fact for anti-propaganda.

But in the meanwhile, Yoon couldn’t attend the condolence tribute ceremony due to ‘traffick problems’

This guy is an absolutely awful incompetent disaster. South Korea is without a leader. With him in power, the country is being exploited left right, and center by outside powers. He can’t even attend a funeral properly, how is he going to lead the country and deal with all the sharks in China, the US, Japan, and Russia? He’s too busy investigating and putting into jail, his political opponents and making the internet even more restrictive of free speech.

But ROKDROP loves him because he works for US interests, not South Korea’s.

KM has shown no disrepect for the late Queen and instead has criticized Yoon for a supposed diplomatic flap that for some reason GI Korea has chosen to not mention in the ROK Drop.

It is also strange for setnaffa to be calling KM a ‘Swine’ when no attacks were made by KM in this thread against setnaffa himself.

Anyways, it seems that the UK government informed the visiting heads of state that they were to arrive at the airport before 3pm at the latest, pay respect to the late Queen on the same day, and then attend a reception hosted by King Charles III at 6pm. Those arriving after the 3pm timeframe were to sign the condolence book the next day.

So in a way, yes  “Yoon’s schedule was determined after a request from the British government”, because Yoon arrived at the airport at 3:30pm.

Which begs the question on why he couldn’t have the ROK Air Force One take off from Seoul AB at an earlier time and land at London with time to spare?

Or did he just think that he could arrive anytime in the afternoon, pay his respects and then go on to reception, which if true would reveal a big dysfunction in the Presidential Office.

TOK, I call everyone who tries to make the late Queen’s funeral about anything besides remembering her a swine.

I don’t care about Yoon. I don’t care about Harry. I don’t care about Biden getting a seat in the 14th row.

Some people are just swine.

Does that help you understand?

I can type slower, if necessary.

If that’s your logic then you should also call GIKorea a ‘swine’ because his blog post was not about remembering the late Queen but about how the Brits “showed a lot of respect” to Yoon and his wife by seating them in the same row as Joe Biden.

Which made the topic of this blog post not about the late Queen but about how much respect Yoon supposedly got from the Brits.

KM countered that by sharing with us the supposed incompetence and poor planning that led to Yoon not being able to pay respects to the late Queen the day before the funeral.

So your logic above doesn’t make sense and unless you were angry at KM for criticizing your favorite Korean president I don’t see any reason for calling him a ‘swine’ in this case, regardless of his past behavior.

Now I trust the above is self-explanatory.

Setnaffa once loved to use the words ” deflect, project, defame, and change the subject” to describe me and then conclude I am Chinese based on the words above.

Let it be known that when confronted by TOK, setnaffa

Deflected and projected by trying to make it look like that Korean Man was being disrespectful to the late Queen and thus attempting to undercut Korean Man comments, which was in no way disrepectful to the late Queen, that Yoon is a buffon who screwed up a major foreign relation event.

Defamed Korean Man by calling him a “swine”,

And changed the subject by stating that he doesn’t “care” about Yoon and Biden, when it fact he spends all his hours criticizing Biden and supporting Yoon who gives him all the Joint ROK-US exercises for setnaffa to enjoy.

I believe the saying that setnaffa should stick to is;

“People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”

Or considering that setnaffa concluded that Korean Man and I were “Chinese bots” based on the allegations that we “defect, project, defame, and change the subject” , maybe setnaffa himself is a Chinese/Russian bot since he uses the same methodology.

A National Assembly quizzes a National Assemblywoman on the real reason why Yoon was not able to pay respects to the late Queen.

The question is “Why do you think Yoon was not able to make it in time?”

And the answer choices are;

  1. London’s traffic situation
  2. Insufficient communication with the UK government
  3. First Lady didn’t want to walk
  4. Teachings by a certain cult leader

The National Assemblyman who made the question claims the answer is 4.
