Political Unrest in South Korea

South Korea is experiencing significant political turmoil following President Yoon So-kyul's declaration of martial law, which opposition parties have labeled reckless. The motion to impeach Yoon has been proposed by nearly 200 lawmakers from the opposition, after his decision to lift the emergency order was prompted by a National Assembly vote against it. The martial law declaration is seen as a response to his struggles with a major opposition, and the unusual turbulence of the situation has provoked nationwide protests. Public sentiment is increasingly angered by the martial law, reminiscent of the military dictatorship era, pushing many to demand Yoon's immediate resignation.
