What is the expression of the Ministry of National Defense where martial law was established?

[Reporter]
Yes, the news that all the members of the State Council, including the Minister of National Defense, expressed their resignation a little while ago has been in a restless atmosphere.

The Ministry of National Defense is especially in a situation where martial law command was established, so the shock wave is even greater.

As Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who took office in early September, is likely to step down after three months, he is closely watching the repercussions.

Former Minister Shin Won-sik left his post in less than a year, and Minister Kim Yong-hyun was also embroiled in martial law in three months, raising concerns about the stability of the military organization.

It is also expected to raise the issue of the future of Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was appointed as martial law commander and returned to the original unit after the lifting of martial law.

It is known that President Park came to Seoul yesterday to carry out another schedule and stayed around the Ministry of National Defense after the event.

For this reason, some point out that there was an emergency standby order in advance.

However, some executives who had been assigned to the martial law command were not able to join, and the preparations were not so meticulous, such as the lifting of martial law.

In particular, as the opposition party has announced its plan to accuse Minister Kim Yong-hyun and martial law commander Park An-soo of rebellion, it will be difficult to rule out a situation in which high-ranking military officials have been summoned one after another.

In the meantime, the 4th Korea-U.S. Nuclear Consultation Group (NCG) meeting scheduled for this week has been postponed, and the schedule of events prepared not only by the Ministry of National Defense but also inside and outside the military has been disrupted in the aftermath of martial law.When asked about the size and operation of martial law forces that had been deployed to the National Assembly, an official from

said, "There is no specific matter to explain in the current situation."

Kim Myung-soo, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly instructed major military commanders to maintain a thorough readiness posture to prevent North Korea from making mistakes after the emergency martial law was lifted.
