At around 10:30 p.m., President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law.
155 minutes later, around 1 a.m., the National Assembly passed a resolution calling for emergency release.

Is there a collision situation that you can see at the scene?
[Reporter]
First of all, the National Assembly Boulevard that I'm in right now is the National Assembly Boulevard in front of the first and second gates of the National Assembly.
First of all, citizens continue to gather at the site, and there are no major conflicts.
However, we continue to set up stage vehicles on site and continue to shout slogans criticizing President Yoon Suk Yeol, who declared emergency martial law.
Citizens continue to gather around this National Assembly Boulevard, but no one seems to have been injured.

Compared to when the emergency martial law was declared immediately before, what is the difference in the situation now?
[Reporter]
First of all, the first time I arrived here was past 11:30 last night.
At that time, there were various doors on the side of the National Assembly, and citizens continued to gather only in front of that door, trying to break through the police and enter the National Assembly precinct.
However, as time increased, the number of people continued to increase here on National Assembly Boulevard, where I am now, and vehicle traffic was completely banned.
Various stage vehicles are installed on the site of National Assembly Boulevard here.
People arriving at the scene from all over the place have installed microphones and speakers, continuing their remarks condemning President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Traffic is completely controlled, and most of the doors to the inside of the National Assembly are not able to enter as before, and citizens also seem to be guarding all the doors of the National Assembly.
[Anchor]
Now that the vehicle is under control and speakers are installed, there is also a movement to prepare for the assembly. I've heard this.
We'll connect again in a moment to hear what the situation is like in front of the National Assembly.
This has been reporter Jeong Hyeon-woo.
