Since President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law, major countries around the world have warned their citizens living or visiting Korea.
The U.S. State Department has maintained the level of recommendations for travel to South Korea on its website at the existing level 1, but the State Department has written a link to the U.S. Embassy's alert message on its travel recommendation page.
On the morning of the 4th in Korean time, the U.S. Embassy posted an 'alert' with a red banner on its English website, saying, "The situation remains fluid after President Yoon Suk Yeol's lifting of martial law. We must avoid protest sites and pay attention to large crowds, gatherings, and near demonstrations," he said.
The British Foreign Ministry said on its Korean page on the 3rd (local time) among travel recommendations by country, "We are aware of the developments that have been unfolding since the declaration of martial law in Korea. Avoid political protests," he posted a warning.
After the martial law was lifted on the 4th, "This (martial law) was lifted. Follow the advice of the local authorities and avoid large political rallies. Protests are expected in Gwanghwamun, the presidential office (triangle), and the National Assembly (Yeouido)," he said, urging his citizens to pay attention to Korea.
Israel, which is at war, has also issued a travel warning for South Korea.
Israel's foreign ministry informed its citizens in a statement on Thursday night that South Korea should "consider the need to visit the country," adding that "stay at home or in accommodation and watch for new media coverage until the situation is clear."
The Ukrainian Embassy in Korea also announced the lifting of martial law on Facebook on the morning of the 4th, asking its citizens to follow the embassy's notice, refrain from participating in large-scale events, and follow the recommendations of local authorities.
