On the evening of the 3rd, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol suddenly announced the implementation of "emergency martial law" on live TV.

Subsequently, South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, convened an emergency meeting of members after Yoon Seok-yeol announced "emergency martial law." Party leader Lee Jae-myung called on the South Korean people to go to the National Assembly to protect the National Assembly. It is reported that most members of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the National Assembly are heading to the National Assembly.
