Part 2/8:
The crisis began when President Yoon, facing mounting pressure and criticism, declared martial law amidst a wave of protests against his administration. Members of his ruling People Power Party (PPP) have indicated their opposition to a motion for impeachment, hinting at a potential political standoff in the National Assembly. Meanwhile, opposition leaders are rallying for support to challenge Yoon's authority before an impending vote that could seal his fate.
In a tense atmosphere, lawmakers and protesters converged on the parliamentary building, only to be confronted by military forces dispatched by the President. However, after a strong backlash from both the public and political figures, Yoon quickly rescinded the martial law decree he had issued hours earlier.
