    The soldiers (the most advanced troops of s.korea) left apologizing and giving hugs to the civilians tried their best to not hurt anyone and cause any damage. The lawmakers climbed the fence to gather in the national assembly at midnight within 1.5 hr of declaration and lifted the martial law. They should recover this so other countries can learn from it

      What is there to learn? The president of one of the big democratic parties went mad and imposed MARTIAL law and send a battalion to attack the parliament. Civilians had to stop them with their lives - those civilians the soldiers swore oth to protect at any time. The lawmakers were able to barely get a last minute vote in, before it was too late. If you think everything is fine now, you must have been sleeping the last 24 hours or 40 years. This is not a video game or a gorky Netflix series - this is a real country with real people, man!

      Seriously though even if there wasn't a vote to stop martial law from being implemented what would be the difference? You would likely have hundreds of thousands of Koreans protesting on the streets probably in all cities until the martial law measures were reversed anyways. There was no way that this would've lasted long term.

And on whose and what order they were executing. How do you reverse martial law on the streets, when thousands of armed forces stand opposed to you??? Are you guys for real and downplaying this??? You probably too young to have ever seen a real coup d'états. Well, ROK has seen several before.

He also has to consult and get consent of his own cabinet before issuing the order, he didn't. He is also obligated to allow the legal process to potentially rescind the order, he didn't. He banned the meeting to cancel the order as part of the order, which also exceeded his authority. He deployed the military to block the rest of the government from operating. The Secretary of Defense lied to the military in order to get them to send the forces against the government, he resigned in disgrace already. He was apparently the only member of the cabinet who the President talked to about this plot. The rest of the cabinet has also already resigned in protest. Charges of treason or rebellion could be justified. This is being discussed by the political leadership as a possibility. Many other Korean Presidents have wound up in prison for crimes related to their time in office.

      @@manofmatter.yvezchannel Not this time. He superseded every legal and procedural requirement to declare martial law. So it was illegal from the beginning. The most significant point the legal experts see this as rebellion is Yoon's attempt to blockade the National Assembly building, preventing assembly members from overturning the martial law. In South Korean law, under no circumstances, should the president revoke the legislative branch from doing its job. This also applies in the time of martial law. The fact that he tried to immobilize the National Assembly constitutes his action as a coup. If he's proven to be the instigator, only penalty is death. Not even a life sentence.

    Basically, he tries to realize what he wants, not what the people want. That is liberal democracy. In fact, liberalism and democracy are often conflicting concepts. When the powerful shout for freedom, the freedom and rights of the powerless are diminished. For example, when capitalists claim freedom, the rights of workers are violated. Although he claims liberal democracy, his emphasis is not on democracy but on liberalism. He repeated the word “freedom” pathologically in his inauguration speech. To him, any act that restricts “freedom” is “communism.”
    He is a former prosecutor. He hates compromise and politics. He has been arbitrarily abusing the law, excluding politics and insisting on the rule of law. And he has placed his loyal followers here and there in the government who blindly follow to him well and has done absurd things. He is letting people know that “rule by law” can be a method of dictatorship.
    Korean citizens, who already have a high level of understanding of democratic order, have naturally felt disgusted by his unilateral actions. It was a desperate measure taken by him, who has a coercive nature, to suppress the citizens more easily.
    He is not the kind of person who would step down on his own, even if he were to commit suicide. Impeachment will probably follow, but its success is not certain. He will use North Korea to consolidate his power. If he instigates conflict with North Korea and creates a state of public security, it will be easier to suppress the citizens. It is the same old method that North Korea's Kim Jong-un has used to strengthen his power.
    The brainwashing of the old ones and the political indifference of the young ones have led to the rise of such a villain. I think that in order to block the emergence of such villains, it is necessary to give 2-3 times more weight to the votes of voters in their 30s and 40s, who are the core working class of society.
