President Yoon Suk Yeol's recent attempt to introduce martial law in South Korea has sparked controversy and uncertainty about his political future. A political analyst in Seoul has described the decision as 'political suicide,' highlighting the challenges Yoon now faces in maintaining his authority.
Even members of Yoon's own conservative allies have criticized his move, questioning his independent power and decision-making. The analyst emphasized that Yoon may now need to rely on the judgment of opposition leaders like Lee Jae-myung or his own party's Han Dong-hoon to navigate the aftermath of the failed decree.
