The emergency decree was declared last night, and traffic near the presidential office in Yongsan was once blocked.
With the lifting of the
martial law, traffic restrictions have been lifted and most of the guard personnel have been withdrawn, easing the tight vigilance, but tensions remain.

I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Lim Yejin!

How is the situation now?

[Reporter]
I'm on the road across from the presidential office.

With the lifting of the emergency martial law, the strict boundaries seem to have been somewhat relaxed.

Most of the police forces that filled the area have withdrawn and only regular personnel remain.

The police screen, which was tightly closed last night, is now open like this.

However, there is still tension around it.

In the aftermath of the declaration of martial law overnight, citizens expressed concern and concern, so let's hear the story firsthand.

[KIM KYUNG HUN / Sangdo-dong, Seoul: I was very surprised. Is it something that could happen in this era?]. I was worried and went to work. If you protest in front of here, you'll get in trouble again when you go to work.]

In the morning, Heo Eun-ah, the leader of the New Reform Party, and Cheon Ha-ram, the floor leader, held a press conference here to denounce the emergency martial law and visited the president's office to protest.

At the same time, police once restricted traffic with fences to prevent them from passing in the direction of the presidential office.

Things were more tense last night, weren't they?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

The area around the presidential office here was in chaos last night when the president of Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency decree in a surprise attack.

Traffic in the area, including the entrance to the presidential office, was completely blocked, and by midnight, Indian traffic was also blocked, causing inconvenience to citizens.

When our reporters came here last night, they were also informed to go down to the triangular area with an order to disband.

In addition, citizens who disagree over the declaration of martial law clashed with each other by criticizing each other sharply, and there was friction between vigilant personnel and citizens blocking traffic.

Fortunately, no one was hurt from this.

The tight alert began to be lifted at around 4:30 a.m., about six hours later, when President Yoon lifted martial law.
