Political Turmoil in South Korea

The imposition of martial law by President Yoon in South Korea sparked significant political unrest and a constitutional crisis, unprecedented in over 40 years. Yoon justified his decision by claiming a threat from the National Assembly, which he accused of colluding with North Korean forces, but failed to provide any evidence for this assertion. This move has led to widespread protests, as well as calls for Yoon's impeachment from nearly 190 lawmakers across opposition parties. The political landscape is now marked by heightened polarization and concerns that such an extreme measure could set a dangerous precedent for future governance in South Korea.
