South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has stirred controversy by declaring martial law late Tuesday local time, a move that has sparked discussions about the state of democracy in the country. According to a senior adviser for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Yoon's decision may be seen as a political gamble rather than a power grab.
The adviser noted that Yoon is unlikely to resign, as he believes his actions were justified within the bounds of the constitution. Despite the appearance of undermining democracy, Yoon may view his actions as necessary to address the deadlock in the parliament and the National Assembly.
