Foreign media predicted widespread repercussions for "furious many Koreans" [Now News]

Major U.S. media quickly reported on the situation in which Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency and lifted it within six hours, noting its background and future political repercussions.

The Washington Post said, "President Yoon declared martial law and lifted it. "At first, it was unclear whether President Yoon and the military would accept the National Assembly's vote, but President Yoon addressed the nation again early Wednesday and said he would end martial law," he said in an article titled "Why?"

"President Yoon's unusual proclamation on Tuesday night angered many South Koreans and brought up painful memories of the country's military governance in the late 1980s before the country transitioned to democracy," he said.

At the same time, the order lasted only about six hours, but in Korea, known as an energy-rich democracy, it predicted that it would have a wide range of repercussions.

The WP said that there were rumors related to the opposition party before President Yoon's declaration of martial law, adding, "President Yoon's decision was a shock, but not a complete surprise."

Regarding the background of President Yoon's declaration of martial law, he said, "President Yoon won one of Korea's biggest close elections, but immediately became embroiled in many scandals," adding, "His approval rating plummeted due to the scandal along with a number of government actions that seemed unnecessary."
