"Martial Law Returns to South Korea After Decades: What’s Next?"

On December 3, 2024, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, citing the pressing need to purge “anti-state” and “pro-North Korean” elements from the nation. This unprecedented move saw army units and armored vehicles encircle the National Assembly, while lawmakers were still in session. This act of the declaration and its reversal drew protests in many places across South Korea. National Assembly members were trading blows with the security personnel, demanding the president’s resignation as the city reported protests near the Assembly. Unions known as the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions had declared a general strike until the president resigns. However, it suddenly seems that news regarding South Korea’s political situation today is having accessibility problems: reports now appear suggesting that martial law may have been declared for a while in what would be a significant political and constitutional event for the country. This has likely sparked both international and domestic reactions.
