President Yoon’s martial law blocked by 🇰🇷’s parliament. A lot of tension in in Seoul

If successful, Yoon’s move would’ve banned any political activity opposed to his government and established dictatorial limits on freedom of speech

Continuing to watch the situation closely

🇰🇷’s President Yoon declared martial law—for the first time since the assassination of Park Chung Hee in 1979.

Lately, Yoon struggled to pass laws after the opposition regained a parliamentary majority in April.

According to Realmeter, 71% disapprove his performance as president.
