Political Turmoil in South Korea

A recent declaration of martial law by the South Korean president aimed to overcome political gridlock and curb opposition activities, creating significant tension in the country. His actions were criticized even by members of his own party, highlighting a fractured political landscape following his party's loss in recent elections. Lawmakers have since voted to ask for the lifting of martial law, which creates legal complexities regarding the president's compliance. As public protests begin to emerge, the key question remains whether the president will abide by the parliament's wishes or escalate the situation further.
