Please explain the situation on the ground.

[Reporter]
As of 11 o'clock last night, many citizens gathered in front of the main gate of the National Assembly here as President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law.

And the reporters were out from 6 a.m., but many citizens continued to protest in front of the National Assembly until 7 a.m. a little while ago.

However, from 7 a.m., police began to control the road and move protesters over the sidewalk for traffic on the way to work. Citizens protested strongly, calling it a forced dissolution.

The reporters also watched the situation, and after communicating with the vehicle first, they even had a physical fight, telling citizens to move.

At one point, 4,000 citizens gathered.

We've gathered here to fill the National Assembly Boulevard.

As martial law was lifted by the National Assembly and President Yoon Suk Yeol voted at the Cabinet meeting, protesters gradually dispersed.

Even after martial law was lifted at the Cabinet meeting, citizens continued to protest that President Yoon Suk Yeol should take responsibility for the situation and step down.

Are all martial law troops on the scene withdrawn now?

[Reporter]
Earlier, around midnight, a large number of martial law troops in military helicopters landed inside the National Assembly.

And as they tried to enter the National Assembly building, they clashed with National Assembly aides.

In particular, as some martial law forces attempted to break through the windows of the National Assembly, aides blocked them with chairs and desks.

In particular, as some martial law troops entered the National Assembly before the resolution was passed, aides fiercely resisted by spraying fire extinguishers.

Since then, martial law troops have returned to their units sequentially as the resolution to lift martial law was passed by the National Assembly.

How did the police respond after martial law?

[Reporter]
Police completely controlled access to the National Assembly immediately after martial law.

Several police buses were also mobilized.

The identified lawmakers, aides, and some reporters were allowed to enter, but shortly after the martial law command's proclamation was announced, it even blocked lawmakers from entering, causing a major conflict.

Some citizens also clashed as they tried to enter the National Assembly directly. Likewise, as citizens gradually withdrew after the decision to lift martial law was made, the police also withdrew personnel, such as removing buses parked in front of the main gate of the National Assembly.

Currently, they are moving protesters and continuing two-way communication, controlling the citizens who came up on the sidewalk, and continuing the management of on-site rallies. We will inform you of the additional situation of coming in.
