Do any friends who understand Korea know what's going on?
The political turmoil in Korea intensifies as President Yoon Suk-yeol announces 'emergency martial law' late at night.
Yoon Suk-yeol listed several reasons, claiming that the opposition party is coercing the National Assembly and disrupting the country, stating that he will eradicate 'anti-national forces' within South Korea. Specific details of the martial law measures are currently unknown.
External analysts suggest that the recent push by the opposition party for a series of legislation targeting the president's wife and the impeachment of public officials, including prosecutors, may have been the trigger for Yoon Suk-yeol's announcement of 'emergency martial law.'
