In an unprecedented move, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol recently declared martial law in the country for the first time in decades, citing major threats from the communist forces of North Korea as well as anti-state elements. But the president’s call was short-lived as it led to a major outcry and protests. The country’s parliament voted to revoke the martial law within hours, forcing Yoon to withdraw his declaration.
Amid visuals and photographs of thousands of people gathering at parliament to protest, a concerned Canadian man’s chat with his co-worker in South Korea has gained significant attraction.
Jack Forge, who has over two lakh followers on X, shared a screenshot of his chat with a Korean co-worker asking him, “What was going on in South Korea?”
“Hey, what’s going on in South Korea today?” Forge asked his co-worker, who seemingly unfazed by the unfolding events, replied, “Not sure, playing League of Legends.”
The Canadian man later asked for more information regarding the ongoing situation in the country. “They declared martial law or something?” he asked.
His co-worker replied, “League of Legends.”
Forge’s post has since gone viral on X, garnering more than 11.6 million views on the platform.
League of Legends is a widely popular online multiplayer battle game developed by Riot Games and was released in 2009. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the most competitive and highly popular games around the world.
Forge’s humorous exchange with his co-worker quickly received significant attention; many people flooded the comments section with jokes.
“Wait till League of Legends goes offline. You’ll see a true riot,” one person wrote, while Forge replied, “I think people would riot here.”
Another person added, “Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his league. Focused. Flourishing.”
A third person commented, “I feel like every Korean I know is like this. Amazing people.”
While calling the chat “hilarious,” a person said, “But it also shows how the news doesn’t affect regular people as much as we might think.”
