[Capture news] Criticizing even by using strong words...Japanese media reaction to the '尹 Statement'

When President Yoon Suk Yeol announced his statement, major Japanese media outlets all covered the news during the day.President

Yoon appealed in a strong tone for the reason for the emergency martial law, and evaluated it as "justifying" martial law.

[Japan's TBS Broadcasting: President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement justifying the declaration of emergency martial law, emphasizing his intention not to voluntarily resign]

In Japan, the expression justification is interpreted as a negative view of the discourse as there is a strong sense of "not acknowledging one's fault or failure."

NHK explained that the statement was close to 30 minutes, in contrast to President Yoon's brief apology for about two minutes on the 7th.

Conservative Yomiuri also said that President Yoon justified declaring martial law, saying it was "to inform the crisis of the collapse and to restore constitutional order."

Progressive Mainichi also reported that President Yoon "justified" martial law, saying, "The opposition party tried to harm liberal democracy and constitutional order."

Earlier, Japanese media criticized President Yoon's martial law, saying it adversely affects Korea-Japan relations and security in Northeast Asia.

Therefore, the Japanese media's evaluation of President Yoon's "justification of emergency martial law" is seen as continuing this critical trend.
