President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law, accusing the opposition of plotting to undermine democracy, marking the first such action in over forty years.
In his declaration, Mr. Yoon emphasized the necessity of martial law to combat North Korean threats, aiming to safeguard the Republic of Korea's values and order.
The declaration of martial law included a ban on all political activities, with military leaders overseeing media control and the restriction of citizens' rights.
Military authority, led by Army Gen. Park An-Su, will now dictate political discourse and enact severe restrictions, reflecting a significant deviation from democratic norms.
