South Korea's president declared emergency martial law, and the won's intraday gain against the dollar widened to 1.2%

According to Odaily Planet Daily, South Korea's political disputes intensified, and President Yoon Seok-yeol announced "emergency martial law" late at night. South Korea's main opposition party, the Democratic Party, summoned members to the National Assembly.

The South Korean won gave up its gains, while the dollar continued to rise against the won, extending its intraday gains to 1.2%. South Korea's ruling party leader Han Dong-hoon opposed the president's imposition of martial law, calling it a mistake and vowing to stop the move.
