South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol To Lift Martial Law

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol attends a press conference marking two years in office, in Seoul

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has announced his decision to lift the martial law order following a parliamentary vote that blocked the decree. The president stated that he will withdraw the martial law order as soon as he secures the necessary support from his Cabinet. However, due to the time constraints in South Korea, he has not been able to convene his full Cabinet to seek their backing for the withdrawal.

President Yoon also mentioned that he had already withdrawn the troops that were deployed to enforce the martial law order after the National Assembly voted unanimously, with a 190-0 decision, to reject the decree.
