Not just an attempt. This is the definition of an actual coup d’état.
This may as well be a second coup attempt by the People Power Party. Republic of Korea has a constitution; there is no legal way for the president to loan out power and reconfigure the constitution on the fly.

Hurricane Maria triggered a sequence of events that led to the downfall of the storied radio observatory — but inspectors missed clear signals that the structure was in distress.

Korea’s equivalent “Nobel project” in the sciences is the Institute for Basic Science. But venerating the prize is awkward when the Nobels are, for many reasons, inadequate to the task of recognizing scientific achievement.
