    As a Korean, sharing some contexts:
    President Yoon, a former prosecutor general, leveraged his control over the prosecution in an attempt to politically eliminate the opposition party leader, who commands a two-thirds majority in Congress. However, his efforts failed, leaving him increasingly isolated. In a last-ditch attempt to retain power, he resorted to declaring martial law.
    This drastic measure also aimed to deflect attention from mounting corruption scandals involving himself, his family, and his inner circle. Allegations include the First Lady’s bribery (luxury handbags and etc), stock manipulation, land speculation, the suppression of investigations into drug smuggling and more.

    South Korean parliament triggered a constitutional article countermanding the martial law in a binding, unanimous vote at around 1 A.M. local time, which came 2.5 hours after Yoon's televised declaration.
    Airborne troops were dispatched to the parliament building, but the resolution passed before the troops could breach the chamber. Half an hour after the resolution passed, all troops withdrew from the parliament.
    At around 4:30 A.M. local time, 6 hours past the initial declaration, Yoon made another announcement that he will accept and comply with the parliamentary resolution.

    The most recent Martial Law in the Philippines was in 2017 to 2019 in Mindanao

    To understand this much better, the president believe that the opposition is with North Korea, the opposition party is against communism is also a capitalist political party. Is true that the opposition have blocked a few things that the president order against North Korea. This doesn't mean that South Korea will fall into communism ideology, the only thing is that the people in general doesn't like a martial law that is almost like saying that the president is acting like Kim jong un. This types of scandals in the country happen 1979, in other words south Korea continues to be a democratic country and not a totalitarian state. Even the military commanders are against what the president is doing, the south korean special forces were order to guard the parliment to prevent any opposition, the special forces don't have a choice, they need to obey the presidents orders.

    In South Korea, martial law refers to a legal and military measure in which the military temporarily assumes control over civilian governance during times of severe national crisis, such as war, rebellion, or large-scale unrest. It is established under the South Korean Constitution and related laws like the Martial Law Act.
    Key Practical Implications of Martial Law in South Korea:
    Suspension of Civil Liberties:
    Civil rights, such as freedom of assembly, speech, and movement, can be restricted.
    Censorship of media, communication, and publications may be enforced.
    Military Control of Governance:
    Civilian government functions are taken over by the military.
    The military assumes direct control over public administration, law enforcement, and judicial systems.
    Curfews and Restrictions:
    Imposition of curfews to restrict movement.
    Limitations on large gatherings to prevent potential uprisings or unrest.
    Judicial Changes:
    Civilian courts may be replaced or supplemented by military courts to handle offenses considered threatening to national security.
    Military Deployment:
    Armed forces are deployed in civilian areas to maintain order.
    The military may take over critical infrastructure like transportation, communication networks, and utilities.
    Political Implications:
    Martial law has historically been associated with efforts to suppress political dissent. For example, it was invoked during the Gwangju Uprising (1980) to quell pro-democracy protests, leading to significant violence and civilian casualties.
    Historical Context in South Korea:
    Martial law has been declared multiple times in South Korea's history, particularly during political unrest or national crises:
    April Revolution (1960): Martial law was declared to suppress protests against election fraud under President Syngman Rhee.
    Gwangju Uprising (1980): Martial law was expanded nationwide to suppress protests against the military regime, leading to significant human rights abuses.
    Legal Framework:
    Martial law is declared by the president of South Korea with parliamentary approval required for extended implementation.
    It is considered an extreme measure and is reserved for situations where civilian authorities are unable to maintain control.
    Would you like to explore any specific historical instance of martial law in South Korea or its broader implications?

      Throughout his term, he faced opposition and relentless calls for investigations into the illegal and unconstitutional actions of both himself and his wife, as well as demands for his impeachment. In response, he declared martial law in a blatantly unconstitutional move, bypassing due process and branding his opponents as pro-North Korean communists. However, the parliament nullified his actions within approximately 140 minutes. Now, he is left with only two paths: to press forward in an attempt to establish a dictatorship or to face investigation for rebellion and the prospect of impeachment.

    This is scary, how can president of free and democratic country just declare martial law with no reason and with no support of parliament/senate? It makes no sense, army should not listen him in such case or they should vice versa arrest him for treason.
    Here in Czechia, some political parties want to remove senate and other institutions, they say it's infficient, but all these things are insurance of democracy, we know what we are doing after our experience from communist time. It looks like Korea learned nothing from their totaleratian past.
    When I saw that new, I thought that they are going to war or someething, martial law is no fun, you do it in case of war, not just for fun.
