Sizing up the military is going/inviting the military leaders multiple times to figure out if they will stand with you in the case of a coup. That’s not what the South Korean president did. Many people here confuse a coup to a direct seizing of power and the president declaring himself a dictator. A coup is fast but gradual seizing of power that starts by seizing one element (ie: law enforcement of a state, a senator, an official, etc.) gradually to seizing the courts.

And of course, it's peak paranoia. You can't be performing a hostile, illegal siezure of power and call anyone who wants to follow the law an insurrectionist. The Consistution defines that for us.
