[This is the news] Woo Wonsik who went over the fence and stayed at the National Assembly...A sudden rise as a presidential candidate?

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik has emerged as one of the most notable politicians in the December 3 emergency martial law and impeachment crisis.

Many say that Chairman Woo has personally shown the importance of the National Assembly's chairmanship, which is second in the national protocol but is considered an unnoticed position other than the proceedings of the plenary session.

After President Yoon's declaration of emergency martial law on the 3rd, Chairman Woo came directly over the wall of the National Assembly, which was blocked from entering, and this image spread on social media and received a lot of support.

At the time of martial law, lawmakers urged the plenary session to "mind it right away" to resolve the resolution calling for the lifting of the emergency martial law, but they also showed calmness, saying that the agenda has not yet been raised, saying, "It should be done without procedural errors."

Since then, the emergency martial law has been lifted, but Chairman Woo has actually continued to wait 24 hours in the National Assembly Speaker's office, wearing a modernized hanbok to prepare for the possibility of a second martial law and President Yoon's impeachment, or placing a simple bed to take a rest.

At the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 14th, Chairman Woo emphasized, "The desperation, courage and dedication to democracy that you have shown from the moment the emergency martial law was declared to this day led to this decision."

He continued, "The future of the Republic of Korea and hope are in the people. Citizens wiped away tears when they saw Woo saying, "Hope is strong."

Amid predictions that the early presidential race has actually begun, attention is focusing on whether Woo, who has emerged from the impeachment phase, will jump into one of the presidential candidates.
