Welp, that's all the coverage you're getting from me! Since the coup is over, you know. Honestly, it's good for democracies to face situations like this every once in a while. Reminds them of just how fragile their systems are, and makes them get alert again. Otherwise, they get complacent.

19. It’s the first time in 45 years that martial law was declared in South Korea. The pro-democratic movement overcame the country’s long history of dictatorial rule but today South Korea almost saw a backsliding, “I can’t believe there were armed soldiers in the middle of Seoul”

18. Local reporters are still in shock because of tonight’s events. While they commend the South Korean people who were able to mobilize and protect the country so quickly, they also keep repeating that they couldn’t have imagined that this would have ever happened

7. It was following the Yeosu-Suncheon Incident. Since then, it has been misused as a means to seize and maintain power by dictatorial regimes. There were 12 emergency martial law declarations from 1948 to 1979, all under the dictatorship. Today, Yoon declared the country's 13th.

You'd think after 12 times of this authority being misused, they would remove this from the constitution. But ig ppl are too stupid to change when they need to

6. Under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, the president has the authority to declare martial law and prescribes its scope, rights, procedures, and duties of martial law commander through the Martial Law Act. The first martial law was declared on October 21, 1948.

5. President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea has declared martial law Tuesday in an emergency briefing. Yoon said it was made to prevent "anti-state forces," specifically citing the opposition party and its followers as pro-North Korean leftist groups.
