The President of South Korea announces a state of emergency

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol suddenly delivered a televised speech tonight, announcing the implementation of "emergency martial law." Yoon listed several reasons, stating that the opposition party is manipulating the National Assembly and disrupting the country, and he vowed to eliminate "anti-state forces" within South Korea. The specific measures of the martial law are currently unknown.

External analysis suggests that the recent push by the opposition party in South Korea for a series of legislation targeting the president's wife and the impeachment of public officials such as prosecutors may be the trigger for Yoon Suk-yeol's announcement of "emergency martial law."
