South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue issued an emergency speech at the Yongsan Presidential Palace in Seoul on the evening of the 3rd, issuing an emergency martial law order. Yin Xiyue said that the move was to eradicate "forces from the north" and maintain "free constitutional order." In the early morning of the 4th, the South Korean Congress held a meeting and passed a resolution calling for the lifting of martial law. The Office of the Speaker of the National Assembly of South Korea stated that with the passage of the resolution, the emergency martial law order is invalid. In the early morning of that day, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue announced through live television that the martial law troops had been withdrawn and the martial law would be lifted immediately by convening a state council meeting. South Korea held a state council meeting at around 5 a.m. local time on the 4th and passed a resolution to lift emergency martial law.
reporter Tang Xin: I am still in front of the Korean Congress. It can be seen from the camera that there are still many people, citizen groups and opposition party supporters gathering here to hold rallies in front of the South Korean Congress. South Korean police are also standing in front of the Congress to prohibit people from entering. However, the overall situation is now relatively orderly, and no serious riots or other emergencies have occurred. At present, the road in front of the National Assembly has returned to normal operation, but until the morning of the 4th, many Korean opposition party supporters and citizens' groups still stayed outside the National Assembly and continued to hold rallies and demonstrations. This morning, all walks of life in South Korea also issued statements, accusing Yin Xiyue of being baseless and without reason. He actually used the "martial law" method of the military rule era to seek his own political interests. Many citizen groups said they would continue to hold meetings in front of the National Assembly. Rally until Yin Xiyue voluntarily resigns or is impeached and steps down.
Headquarters reporter Tang Xin: It can be said that the sudden emergence of emergency martial law last night has plunged Korean society into consternation. At about 10:30 in the evening, I also saw the live broadcast on TV. I had no idea what was going on. It was hard to imagine that I would come across the word martial law in daily life in South Korea. So when we conducted street interviews in front of the Congress last night, many people in also said that their first reaction was that they thought it was ridiculous. Although Korean politics has always been controversial, I don't understand why Yin Xiyue suddenly made such a decision. After declaring emergency martial law, the South Korean government’s subsequent actions were even more unacceptable to the South Korean people. A martial law command was established, a martial law commander was appointed, military helicopters flew into the Korean National Assembly, and heavily armed soldiers broke into the Korean National Congress, smashing windows and entering the Capitol. It was even later reported that these soldiers were ordered to arrest major politicians. . The entire process was broadcast live by Korean media, making the already stunned Koreans even more unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
Headquarters reporter Tang Xin: Although the emergency martial law was announced to be lifted after a few hours of dramatic developments, the impact and impact of the situation has just begun to appear. South Korea's opposition party demanded that Yin Xiyue step down, otherwise he would immediately initiate impeachment. South Korea's stock and foreign exchange markets were also severely impacted, with the Korean won hitting its lowest level against the U.S. dollar in 15 years. On the political front, the division between the South Korean government and the National Assembly will obviously further intensify. All this has plunged South Korea's already contentious politics into even more chaos. (Headquarters reporter Tang Xin)
