South Korea faced intense political turmoil as President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, citing alleged North Korean influence. Troops were deployed, opposition leaders rallied at the National Assembly, and protests erupted nationwide. Critics argue the move was prompted by Yoon's struggles, including his minority government, scandals involving his wife, and a deadlock over the 2025 budget bill. However, the National Assembly swiftly overturned the martial law, challenging Yoon’s authority. Observers describe the situation as a pivotal moment in South Korea’s democratic history. The coming days are expected to shape the nation's political landscape.
