Immediately after the President's emergency speech that no one could understand, the martial law commander issued the first martial law proclamation stipulating 'prohibition of political activities including the National Assembly and political parties', and 30 minutes after the proclamation was announced, armed martial law troops stormed into the National Assembly.

The unconstitutional and illegal attempt to occupy the National Assembly by martial law forces, who even mobilized helicopters, was thwarted by fierce resistance from democratic citizens, aides, and National Assembly staff who were angry at the President's violation of the Constitution.

The six opposition parties submitted a bill of impeachment against President Yoon to the National Assembly, saying, “He committed a coup against the people with the power given to him by the people.”

This week, we look at the background of the president's declaration of martial law, which threw the country into chaos for six hours, and the reasons why this measure is unconstitutional and illegal, and take an in-depth look at the future impeachment situation and the turbulent political situation with experts such as political scientists and constitutional scholars.
