South Korean President Yoon's Martial Law Attempt Overturned by Parliament

Protests and a decisive parliamentary vote ended Yoon Suk Yeol's six-hour martial law declaration, raising questions about his political future.

President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law late Tuesday, citing threats from North Korea and alleged anti-state activities by the opposition.
The move, which imposed sweeping restrictions on political activity, media, and public gatherings, was widely condemned as an authoritarian power grab.
Protesters and opposition lawmakers worked together to block soldiers and secure a parliamentary vote to overturn the martial law declaration within hours.
The unanimous 190-member vote included members of Yoon's own party, signaling deep fractures in his political support.
Calls for Yoon's resignation or impeachment are growing, with his approval ratings already at historic lows and his presidency now in jeopardy.
