Seoul, December 3, 2024: In a dramatic and unprecedented move, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in a late-night televised address on December 3, 2024. The declaration, the first of its kind since 1980, was justified by the president as a necessary step to counter a perceived threat from “shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces.”

The announcement sent shockwaves through the nation, raising concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and potential political instability. The military has assumed control over key functions, including the suspension of parliamentary activities and the imposition of media restrictions.

President Yoon, without citing specific threats from North Korea, accused opposition parties of obstructing government operations and undermining the nation’s security. The move has been widely criticized by domestic and international observers, with many questioning its legality and necessity.

The sudden declaration has had significant economic repercussions, with the Korean won plummeting against the US dollar. The central bank has indicated its readiness to intervene to stabilize the market.

As the nation grapples with this extraordinary situation, the international community is closely monitoring developments and urging a swift return to democratic processes.
