On December 3, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law, accusing the opposition of criminality and North Korean sympathies. He ordered troops to storm the National Assembly.
Yoon's martial law was short-lived, lasting only six hours, as opposition legislators voted against it. General Park admitted confusion, saying, 'What should we do?'
The event highlighted a disconnect in Yoon’s understanding of South Korea, likening it to a complete misperception of its current democratic state.
Reactions included military veterans marching in protest, chanting against Yoon, showcasing public discontent and a dramatic pushback against his authoritarian tendencies.
