President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of 'emergency martial law' aims to preserve South Korea's constitutional order amid accusations against the opposition of aiding North Korea.
In his televised address, Yoon stated, 'To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements... I hereby declare emergency martial law.'
Yoon's administration faces challenges from the opposition Democratic Party, which has a parliamentary majority and is obstructing crucial budget plans, intensifying political tensions.
The president's refusal to allow independent investigations into scandals involving his wife and officials has drawn significant criticism from his political opponents, further impacting his approval ratings.
