South Korea has declared martial law nationwide for the first time since 1980, citing anti-state threats. President Yoon Suk Yeol’s sudden announcement enforces a ban on all political activities, protests, and rallies. Media across print, broadcast, and online platforms are under strict control. Misinformation and disinformation are now punishable offenses. Medical professionals, including retired staff, must return to work within 48 hours or face penalties. The Martial Law Command grants authorities power to arrest and search without warrants. While the government assures minimal disruption to daily life, citizens violating orders face harsh punishment under Article 14 of the Martial Law Act.
