South Korea witnessed a dramatic day as President Yoon Suk Yeol’s unprecedented declaration of martial law sent shockwaves through the nation. Armored vehicles and troops briefly mobilized on the streets of Seoul, sparking mass protests outside Parliament. Thousands of citizens, braving freezing temperatures, chanted slogans demanding the president's resignation. The martial law announcement, the first in over four decades, was abruptly reversed hours later amid mounting backlash and a parliamentary vote blocking the move. Opposition parties have since submitted a motion to impeach President Yoon, who accused his critics of being “anti-state forces.”
