Today South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared emergency martial law due to "anti-State" actors.

Who are the "anti-State"?

So far his order makes it clear, its any political party not aligned with President Yoon. He's closed down their National Assembly and wants direct control of all political media.

This appears to be a coup, not a legit emergency.

Soldiers were seen over night descending upon the National Assembly complex and photos have emerged of the heavily armed force occupying it's halls.

Outside crowds of law makers and aids demanded to be let in to conduct the people's business but met stiff resistance for local police.

As of one hour ago the martial law has been lifted and the military is obeying the act of the National Assembly.
