South Korea Lifts Martial Law After Protests
On December 3, 2024, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law for the first time in over 35 years, leading to widespread protests in Seoul. The declaration, which Yoon justified by accusing the opposition of anti-state activities, was met with immediate backlash, resulting in lawmakers revoking the decree just hours later. Protesters, led by the country’s largest union group, gathered to demand Yoon's resignation and chanted for his arrest, as key figures in his administration resigned amid the turmoil. While martial law was briefly imposed, international flights continued without interruption, and security measures at Incheon Airport remained unchanged. Additionally, misinformation circulated online with images from previous protests being falsely linked to the recent unrest, highlighting the chaotic media landscape surrounding the events. The situation underscores heightened political tensions in South Korea, as citizens resist perceived authoritarian measures from their government.
