Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about South Korea and what happened.

We're going to start with the most recent development at time of recording

for those who might be hearing about military rule being declared in South Korea for the first time.

The South Korean president released this statement, quote,

Dear citizens, I declared martial law at 11 o'clock last night, with a firm will to save the country

against anti-state forces that are trying to paralyze the essential functions of the

state and destroy the constitutional order of liberal democracy. However, a little while ago,

the National Assembly demanded the lifting of martial law. So the troops deployed for martial law

affairs were withdrawn.

Marshall law will be lifted immediately by accepting the National Assembly's request through a

state council meeting. However, although we have immediately convened a state council meeting,

as it is still early in the morning, and the quorum for

resolution has not yet been met, martial law will be lifted as soon as it is reached. However,

we request the National Assembly to immediately stop its reckless actions that paralyze the functions

of the state through repeated impeachment,

legislative manipulation, and budget manipulation.

The leader of the president's party has said, quote, the president must directly and thoroughly

explain this tragic situation, and then said, the Minister of Defense who recommended

this martial law should be immediately dismissed, and all those responsible must be held strictly

accountable. Members of the opposing party are calling on the president to step down and are throwing the word treason out.

Okay, so what happened?
