YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on Tuesday in an emergency national address televised live as he accused the opposition of trying to paralyze the administration amid a deepening political rift.

Yoon said the decision was made to protect freedom and constitutional order, and that it will not have an impact on South Korea’s foreign policy. He added that it would also help remove North Korea supporters.

“Through the declaration of martial law, I will rebuild and protect a free South Korea,” Yoon said. A proclamation released after the address banned all political activities and strikes and said media would be subject to control of the Martial Law Command, according to Yonhap News.
