TL;DR — IN KOREAN VIBES
This is trending because the Cargo Workers' Solidarity's demands are perceived as excessive and opportunistic, especially coming shortly after a striking worker's death during a protest, which many believe the union is now exploiting.

If we legalize suicide attacks like a Scourge (from StarCraft), does that mean if someone reports a one-person protest and then throws themselves at a chaebol's car and dies, they become a martyr? LMAO.

They got 'flying-kicked' themselves (referring to the worker's death), what 'honor' needs restoring?

Is it an AI video of someone jumping in front of a moving car and kicking it? The union should be apologizing; they should be protesting safely, what were they doing not managing it?
