President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, citing threats from North Korea and internal unrest. However, after unanimous opposition from parliament, he lifted it hours later.
The swift declaration of martial law by President Yoon drew immediate backlash as thousands protested outside the National Assembly, demanding accountability and urging his arrest.
Opposition lawmakers physically struggled past military barriers to vote against martial law, successfully passing a resolution to lift the emergency declaration within hours of its enactment.
Despite President Yoon's justification of martial law for national security, the unanimous decision by parliament demonstrates a significant pushback against the executive's drastic measures.
