Emergency Martial Law Declared as Military Attempts to Enter National Assembly

In a dramatic turn of events, President Yoon Suk-yeol announced a state of emergency martial law during an urgent address to the nation. Shortly after midnight on December 4, military forces attempted to enter the main building of the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul. As the troops breached the premises around 12:35 AM, citizens present at the scene began chanting slogans demanding the lifting of martial law and calling for the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol.

In response to the military's advance, aides to lawmakers erected barricades at various entrances to the Assembly, while police riot squads formed lines to prevent further incursions. The aides joined the citizens in their protests, shouting, 'Lift the martial law!' and 'Impeach Yoon Suk-yeol!'

As military personnel entered the National Assembly, citizens expressed their outrage, questioning, 'Why are soldiers storming the National Assembly?' and 'What is happening right now?' The situation remains tense as the public reacts to the unprecedented military presence in a legislative building.
