After President Yoon Seok-yeol declared “emergency martial law” on the night of the 3rd, major international media outlets unanimously reported the news in the form of breaking news. Reuters reported in a breaking news report that morning (local time) that President Yoon had declared “emergency martial law.” Reuters reported, “In a late-night speech, President Yoon declared martial law, saying he would ‘eliminate the shameless pro-North Korean and anti-national forces.’ This shocking news sent shock waves through South Korea, which has been regarded as a democratic nation since the 1980s.” CNN also reported in a breaking news report that “President Yoon declared martial law in an unannounced late-night television address, accusing South Korea’s major opposition parties of siding with North Korea and engaging in anti-national activities.” “The president justified his decision by saying it was essential to protect the freedom and safety of the people, ensure the sustainability of the nation, and ensure a stable nation for future generations.” The Associated Press reported, “Yoon vowed that the measures would eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the democratic constitutional order, but it is unclear what impact the measures will have on South Korea’s governance and democracy.” The New York Times reported, “This is the first time a South Korean president has declared martial law since the end of military dictatorship in the late 1980s,” pointing out that this is the first emergency martial law to be declared in 45 years since the October 26 Incident in 1979 (the assassination of President Park Chung-hee). Chinese state-run media also reported President Yoon’s declaration of “emergency martial law” in breaking news. China Central Television (CCTV) reported, “President Yoon suddenly announced ’emergency martial law’ in a live broadcast, stating that he would eradicate anti-national forces and protect free democracy.” “The announcement of martial law is believed to have been triggered by South Korea’s opposition party’s recent push for impeachment over the case involving President Yoon’s wife.” At 10 p.m. on the 3rd (local time), news of martial law in South Korea was the number one real-time search term on Baidu, a major Chinese portal site. As of 1 a.m. on the 4th, “South Korean president declares state of emergency” was the number one real-time search term on China’s major social networking site Weibo. Also, in 11th place is the Korean film “Spring in Seoul,” which depicts the events following the October 26, 1979 incident, when emergency law was last declared in South Korea.

>>37 Nobody followed suit. Both the ruling and opposition parties voted to lift martial law. The judiciary and Yun Yun civil war. The public also protested for Yun Yun’s resignation. The people in the presidential office resigned.
South Korea is a country where the negative aspects of capitalism have become too apparent, so I think it is inevitable that the country will turn communist. If the country turns communist, the birth rate will rise and Korea’s infamous excessive competition will be significantly alleviated.
It was Koreans who elected Yoon Yoon as president, and it was Koreans who gave the opposition party an overwhelming majority of seats, creating a divided National Assembly. It is the will of the Korean people that has made it so difficult for the president to govern. In other words, it is proof that direct elections and the presidential system are incompatible with the ignorant masses.
