In a dramatic late-night address, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law, citing impeachment threats and a looming North Korean threat to justify extreme measures.
Yoon described his government as being in a state of 'paralysis' and asserted that the nation was 'on the verge of collapse,' invoking memories of past martial law abuses.
As tensions escalated outside the National Assembly, the military displayed a formidable presence, reminding the public of historical government overreach and violence during protests.
Lawmakers quickly moved to challenge Yoon's emergency measures, highlighting a remarkable shift in the political landscape and the constitution’s power in lifting martial law.
