TL;DR Summary
South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on December 3, 2024, leading to a chaotic night as military forces stormed the National Assembly in Seoul. Lawmakers were forced to climb walls to lift the decree, and by 2 a.m., troops withdrew. The following day, protests erupted demanding Yoon's impeachment or resignation. Six opposition parties have since submitted a bill to impeach the president, with a vote expected soon.
