The National Assembly had to ratify the declaration, and they have not, declaring it invalid. This is where things could get “interesting”. 😬

South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an "emergency martial law" on Tuesday, accusing the opposition of paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.
In a surprise late-night TV address, Yoon said the move was needed to protect the country. He also accused the left-leaning opposition of being sympathetic with North Korea and vowed to "eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order."
"Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin," Yoon declared in his speech, without specifying how the martial law would be enforced.
Yoon also asked South Koreans to have faith in him and tolerate "some inconveniences" as he vowed to "eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country."
Following Yoon's announcement on Tuesday, all political activities, including political associations, rallies and demonstrations, will be prohibited. Media and publications will be subject to the control of the Martial Law Command.
