What is the expression of the Ministry of National Defense where martial law was established?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Ministry of National Defense was in turmoil overnight due to President Yoon's declaration of martial law and order to dismantle the martial law command, but now it is somewhat stabilizing.
The boundaries around the office building on the way to work today have been slightly stronger than usual, but the entry and exit measures have been carried out smoothly.
However, the shock wave has not gone away as the first martial law declaration in more than 40 years and the martial law command, which is an organization to enforce it, have been established in the Ministry of National Defense.

Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was appointed as martial law commander, reportedly stayed around the Ministry of National Defense after a separate schedule in Seoul yesterday.
Since then, the martial law has been disbanded and returned to Gyeryongdae early this morning, and some point out that there was an order to wait for emergency in advance.
However, it is observed that the preparations were not so meticulous, with some executives showing that they released their luggage again when martial law was lifted while preparing for the martial law command.
In the meantime, concerns about the military are growing as former Minister Shin Won-sik, who has less than a year in office, and Kim Yong-hyun, who proposed martial law to President Yoon, has been embroiled in martial law three months after his inauguration.
Kim Myung-soo, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly instructed major military commanders to maintain a thorough readiness posture to prevent North Korea from making mistakes after the emergency martial law was lifted.
