I'm Korean staying is US. This martial law from Yoon is procedurally invalid. It did not go through the State Council meeting, nor was it notified to the National Assembly, which should be done for following martial law. We have to keep our demacrocy. Please pray for us and support normal citizens in South Korea. Luckly, congress legally (50% over attending) reject martial law, which means effects were gone even though that martial law is invalid. Congress confirmed the invalidation of martial law again by their voting (100% agree to reject martial law)
Agree...cowards declare their madness co even they know they r mad so they choose time like when Trump got elected 1st time or Italians were dying of COVID...so people don't have courage for prtests as they r already frightened of trump elected or COVID killing Italians ...as an Indian, know this game by heart now
As a Korean student, even I know it's unacceptable for a president to declare martial law only bc people are protesting against him and out of fear of impeachment. Everyone's confused rn.
It’s notable that North Korea and Russia have entered into a treaty, signaling shifts in global dynamics as U.S. influence appears to be waning. Given the current trajectory, it wouldn’t be surprising if North Korea turns its focus to South Korea after the situation in Ukraine. Let’s not forget, these are the outcomes shaped by collective decisions...

As an American who lived in South Korea during the 1980s, I have vivid memories of what martial law felt like. When President Chun Doo-hwan declared it, the atmosphere in the country turned instantly colder. A nationwide curfew was reimposed, and the faces of ordinary citizens betrayed a deep, unspoken fear. Now, four decades later, South Korea finds itself again confronting the specter of martial law. In 2024, President Yoon Suk-yeol made the unexpected decision to impose it around 10 p.m. Reports indicate that his approval ratings had sunk to the low teens, and with impeachment looming, he turned to this extreme measure. Echoing the rhetoric of the 1980s, Yoon justified the move as necessary to combat "anti-state forces." Former President Park Geun-hye, too, had reportedly considered martial law during her presidency, but was unable to implement it due to her impeachment. In these uncertain times, one can only hope that South Korea’s hard-won democracy will endure this latest trial.
Yoon Suk Yeol is a stupid idiot should not be elected in the first place. If Lee Jae-myung was elected in 2022, we definitely will not see this kind of BS.
Special Forces has entered parliament building. Many helicoptors appeared in the sky of Seoul. it's REal. but many people are watching youtube live broadcasts and enjoying this like watching a movie haha . People just think he has gone crazy.
The process of declaring martial law itself was illegal, and although the National Assembly has now lifted martial law, Yoon Suk-yeol is still holding out without officially declaring its termination. He all did this to avoid the consequences of his and his family’s crimes.
Considering the Chosun Ilbo editor she interviewed is an extremely right wing, anti communist newspaper in Korea. Kind of like CNN interviewing someone from Fox. Says a lot how surprised everyone is.
That makes sense why they interviewed him, though. At least according to this clip, the CNN reporters didn’t understand WHY the SK president declared this martial law. The editor was able to clarify why he thinks this decision happened, which sheds a lot more light on the president’s thinking. Obviously the country doesn’t agree with the president’s decision, but now we as outsiders can begin to understand a “why,” and even that should make fighting it more manageable 🤞🏻

@@김현빈-d7f well, if you think so, why did it happen all of a sudden? helpful for what? it was just nothing happening. Korean didn't even know that it would happen.
@pacewalk7396 Not yet. But according to the korean constitution, the cabinet must hold a meeting, and the president must accept the results of the parliamentary vote. If the president refuses, it is against the constitution and could lead to impeachment for causing a national crisis.
Did you skip the part where they said they realized pro-communist, North Korean/Russian sleeper agents controlled 2/3 of their parliament? The same thing literally just happened to the US on November 5th. Biden also needs to declare martial law.
No. Martial law has not been lifted yet. The National Assembly has proposed lifting martial law with 190 out of 190 members in favor, but the President has not yet stated his position. If the President does not announce the lifting of martial law and mobilizes the military, it will be the beginning of a dictatorship and a civil war. We are still tense. Thousands of citizens are gathered in front of the National Assembly at 2 a.m. right now.
Just a suggestion: if you want, you can request Indian govt to send some elite special forces, for dismantling this coup like situation with a targeted quick operation, if there're any human rights violations happening. Time is crucial, the more you wait, the more it'll be hard to infiltrate and conduct operation and then exit safely. Take your decision asap. I think you guys have US military bases in your country. So, if you'll waste time, the US will settle into the situation properly and we wouldn't be able to do anything afterwards. So, take quick decision. Take care.
Thankfully, Impeachment is (mostly) in action from a few hours ago. He no longer have actual control on the military force due to congrass presenting agenda.
@@ArnieMac I was adding a little levity to this. Trump's already pulled this move. But my comments pointing out facts keep getting censored Take out the left propaganda and the politics fall.. Ever heard of Elon musk? But you won't get this comment it'll get deleted
Not a single martial law has been declared since the end of the military regime in South Korea in the late 20th century and the people regained their freedom with the establishment of a democratic government. This is insane.
The uproar over the declaration of martial law in Korea ended with the lifting of martial law. All members of the National Assembly present at the emergency meeting agreed to the lifting of martial law.
So this is what I'm hearing: 1) President declares martial law in the wee hours of the morning when everyone is asleep. 2) Parliament is convened, and all attending veto the martial law per S. Korean law, therefore nullifying the martial law decree. 3) Parliament also moves to start impeachment process. 4) President backs down and cancels martial law. President clearly didn't think this one through, what was the whole purpose of this??? In the end he'll be impeached, then jailed (I believe most ex-presidents of S. Korea are jailed) Again, what's the whole point??
@@FrancisAbuJ i agree but still 50 times better than FOX propaganda network, they probably arent even reporting on this. They are swallowing Trump with no chaser as usual 😂
Both Korea and Palestine are living under the occupation of American imperialism. The free government of Korea is with Palestine. America must leave Korea now! 🇰🇵❤️🇵🇸
I stopped taking CNN seriously when they did a puff piece on Hasan Piker - a streamer who has broadcasted terrorist propaganda, is a terrorist sympathizer - who supports Hamas, and someone who has said "America deserved 9/11."
At least they are not under military occupation from a foreign power. At least they are tributary vassal state like South Korea. North Korea might be a lot of things but it seems they are much more stable than South Korea. South Korea had had coups and assassinations, revolutions, military junta rules. The country seems stable and prosperous but it is actually very unstable.
oh shush your silly democrats caused wars. As a European( many like me) changed our mind on Donald Trump. Stop acting like your rights were taken when he served.
According to Article 77, Clause 5 of the South Korean Constitution, the content is as follows: Article 77 (Martial Law), Clause 5: “When martial law is declared, the President must report it to the National Assembly without delay, and if the National Assembly demands the lifting of martial law, the President must comply.” This clause regulates the authority of the President and the role of the National Assembly concerning the declaration of martial law. It is designed to prevent the abuse of martial law and ensure democratic governance.
I guess we will find out if south korean are organized and ready to defend their democracy.. the cituation seems disturbing , hope this is not a trojan horse from the north
South Korea is a liberal democratic country. The damage to democracy in Korea is It's serious and we desperately need attention and help from all over the world. They unilaterally declared martial law and soldiers entered the National Assembly I have it. Please help me with the situation in Korea to preserve democracy.
Parliament and his own party are not with him. The deciding factor here now is whether he hedged enough influence to get the military on his side beforehand(or if he is popular enough among the ranks to just go along with it anyway).

As a citizen of the Republic of Korea, I strongly condemn President Yoon Suk-yeol's unconstitutional martial law and will defend the freedom and peace of Korea.
And as a korean who holds dual citizenship of American and South Korea, this is what happens when the Korean government and any government across the world removes the power of the people. Here in America we have the right to bear arms to fight against any tyrannical government, and if any president or governor, mayor, etc tried to declare a martial law here in the US all of us armed American citizens would fight back.

Personally targeted? Or something like asking someone to find11,780 votes on a recorded phone line to the Georgia Sec of State?? Or sending fake electors to DC?
Two hours after martial law was declared, the lifting of martial law was unanimously passed by the National Assembly, and it is highly likely that President Yoon will soon be impeached by the people of the Republic of Korea.
The situation already conclude, so all should be fine I guess we could expect another impeachment, because as far as I'm aware the public is outraged haha
I have a friend who's in South Korea right now. He can confirm that there was no imminent danger or serious threat happening there--it was just declared out of the blue.
As a Korean, I feel heartbroken that Yoon Suk Yeol is the president of South Korea. This is the 21st century. Incompetent dictators should be punished by the law. It is the greatest enemy that has led to the danger of the Republic of Korea right now, Yoon Suk Yeol. I feel very bad that Kim Jong-un will enjoy this situation.
I am Korean. We have always fought against those in power who are corrupt, and we have always won. We reject dictatorship and democracy will triumph. Just as we impeached President Park Geun-hye a few years ago, we will once again impeach the corrupt president and achieve peace. Korea will achieve the will of the people through unity, not violence, as it did a few years ago. Our democracy is still alive and well!

I don't agree with Kenneth Choi at all. His opinion is so biased. Yoon declared martial law just because he was frustrated and Choi unnderstands why Yoon did it? Shame on you!
Martial law involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule and is usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster.

But according to the korean constitution, the cabinet must hold a meeting, and the president must accept the results of the parliamentary vote. If the president refuses, it is against the constitution and could lead to impeachment for causing a national crisis.

No. Martial law has not been lifted yet. The National Assembly has proposed lifting martial law with 190 out of 190 members in favor, but the President has not yet stated his position. If the President does not announce the lifting of martial law and mobilizes the military, it will be the beginning of a dictatorship and a civil war. We are still tense. Thousands of citizens are gathered in front of the National Assembly at 2 a.m. right now.
Does he control the courts or they can bring him down?
It kinda reminds me of a self-coup from Pedro Castillo and Luis Arce from Peru and Bolivia.

Not a single martial law has been declared since the end of the military regime in South Korea in the late 20th century and the people regained their freedom with the establishment of a democratic government. This is insane.
The uproar over the declaration of martial law in Korea ended with the lifting of martial law. All members of the National Assembly present at the emergency meeting agreed to the lifting of martial law.

SK's parliament are smarter than Ukraine's, who let their president use martial law to perpetuate himself in office for 8 months

2) Parliament is convened, and all attending veto the martial law per S. Korean law, therefore nullifying the martial law decree.
3) Parliament also moves to start impeachment process.
4) President backs down and cancels martial law.
President clearly didn't think this one through, what was the whole purpose of this??? In the end he'll be impeached, then jailed (I believe most ex-presidents of S. Korea are jailed) Again, what's the whole point??

According to Article 77, Clause 5 of the South Korean Constitution, the content is as follows:
Article 77 (Martial Law), Clause 5:
“When martial law is declared, the President must report it to the National Assembly without delay, and if the National Assembly demands the lifting of martial law, the President must comply.”
This clause regulates the authority of the President and the role of the National Assembly concerning the declaration of martial law. It is designed to prevent the abuse of martial law and ensure democratic governance.
