Yep, I did.
There is nothing any of us can add.
She admitted it. Jeezus fuck dude.

As amusing at it is to make fun of another country’s political crisis (don’t even act like you haven’t been laughing at us for the Year of Trump, EU/Canada/Mexico/South America/Asia/Australia-GAF) maybe we can actually talk about the fact that the local equivalent of a carnival palm reader has had actual control over the government of an allied nation?
I see you still haven't added anything, thoughNah man, there's nothing that we can't add to this discussion as previously stated in this thread.
Seriously, we have one of the most insane political scandals that not only undermines the entire political structure of a country, but also sheds light on the cult fervor that lies beneath the country's surface...and everyone wants to act like they're on 4chan.

And it's not like this isn't how Neogaf regularly is.
If you want serious discussion, start one. Otherwise you're as bad as the rest of us.
What the hell is 8 goddesses? All I saw in the links in OP is some flim-flam woman Wormtongue-ing the prez. What secret society?
So you're aware this is just about the same as every GAF thread ever? Which hasn't stopped anyone from being serious nor stopped others from making jokes. Look at US political threads as an example.It's kinda hard to be motivated to write a long and serious post about this topic in this thread when you know most people that enter here won't even bother to read it let alone respond to it considering they're too busy posting memes and pics of Korean pop bands.
A serious discussion should have been there from the get go but then again this is GAF so I guess everyone gotta have their laugh in threads that talk about issues they obviously don't care about.
Which is exactly why it's funny and people are making jokes. Because it's so outlandish and ridiculous that it could be the plot to a Metal Gear game.I don't understand this at all. My whole life I essentially scoffed at every mJor conspiracy theory or even any reference to secret societies, and it turns out there was an actual secret society shadow government running a major country.
My understanding is the 8 goddesses were the 8 richest women who were a secret society running the show as an actual shadow government... Is their a reason people are taking this news so lightly? This is one of the biggest scandals of our lifetime.
Edit- sebody please tell me I've misunderstood the tldr version of this. This seems too fucking nutty to be real.

Sure it's dark and really messed up and we can discuss it, but I doubt most of GAF is South Korean, so not only is there nothing we can do about it, our personal connection to the event is pretty limited.
A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME
As amusing at it is to make fun of another countrys political crisis (dont even act like you havent been laughing at us for the Year of Trump, EU/Canada/Mexico/South America/Asia/Australia-GAF) maybe we can actually talk about the fact that the local equivalent of a carnival palm reader has had actual control over the government of an allied nation?
can we change the title of this thread so people might actually take this seriously? This isn't some crazy tin foil hat thing, this is real from my understanding. As I said I normally would be right there with people laughing and joking about the possibility of something so absurd, but this is actually happening. This is a legit "Illuminati" shadow government that is confirmed. Terrifying stuff.
edit- not to mention that this lends credence to the fact that the previous president committed suicide with unusual circumstances surrounding it, along with many other cabinet members who died under strange circumstances. Again this is normally conspiracy fodder, but apparently that's not the case here.

well I don't know a damn thing about the inner workings of anything in SK so besides some boring general remark of "wow that's crazy" I'm going to go with what I do know about..... the 8 Goddeses burned down my village, one of them joined my party, they were actually trying to fight against an even bigger threat, and there's an ancient secret boss 9th one.
but seriously what are the 8 Goddesses
Korean politics have been fucked for so long smh.
ok so Choi having a big influence is apparently true, and what about these other billionares?I'm just reading these news now and have no knowledge about South Korean politics, but apparently "8 Goddesses" was the name of a conspiracy theory involving Choi Soon-sil and a group of billionaires controlling the South Korean government from the shadows.
This conspiracy theory was from before these actual news about Choi Soon-sil having direct influence over the president's actions.
Park's approval rating sinks to uncharted territory below 20% as corruption scandal over her confidant escalates(KOR) https://t.co/MVFJ4ggcQ4
Just when you think this secret cult is limited only to South Korea, the 8th goddess is revealed to be Hillary Clinton.
Oh my god.....Trump was trying to protect the emeralds

You are posting on a videogame forum on the Internet.
...are we all pretending that private interests influencing government isn't the norm? Is it just the spirituality angle? Because I'm not shocked at all that a politician has special interest ties.For those that don't understand why this is a big deal, think of it as if people saying "9/11 was an inside job" or "lizard people run the world" are actually right. That's roughly the equivalent here.
This is a legit tinfoil hat conspiracy that ended up being true.
I'm convinced that this country is fucked beyond all saving. Seriously, I hate this fucking country so muchReading the OP and subsequent posts had me so confused. I get it now, but man wtf. Seems too ridiculous to be reality.
South Korea has quite a bit of work to do, and by quite a bit I mean a fuck ton.
