Citizens were also greatly embarrassed by the unannounced declaration of emergency martial law in the middle of the night.
Most of them said they couldn't believe it.
[Yongsan-gu resident: I'm a bit confused right now, but honestly, I don't know if this is right, so I can't say anything because it's a bit unexpected....]
Foreigners who traveled to Korea were also surprised.
[Foreigner: I don't know exactly what happened, but my friend asked me what happened in Korea.]
The declaration of martial law for the first time in 45 years has led to a tight border in front of the presidential office in Yongsan.
Due to the deployment of careers, nearby traffic was once restricted.
[Yongsan-gu Restaurant Merchant: Even though martial law has been lifted, it's still not allowed to pass.]
There have also been small clashes between some citizens and the police.
[Yongsan-gu resident: I said my house is over there, but don't go.... Don't go without a reason, go back.]
Citizens were unable to take their eyes off the tense political situation, which was a sudden declaration of emergency martial law in the middle of the night and the approval of a resolution to lift the National Assembly.
