In an emergency statement at the Presidential Office in Yongsan on the evening of the 3rd, President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law to eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the free constitutional order" he said.
President Yoon said, `I will rebuild and protect a free Korea that is falling into the abyss of ruin through this emergency decree,' adding, `To this end, I will surely eradicate the root cause and anti-state forces that have been defeated so far.'
He emphasized that `this is an inevitable measure to ensure the freedom, safety, and national sustainability of the people from the quasi-rush of anti-state forces seeking to overthrow the system and to pass on a proper country to future generations.'
"I will fight off anti-state forces and normalize the country as soon as possible," he said, adding that "the declaration of the martial law will cause some inconvenience to the good people who believed in and followed the values of the Constitution of the Free Republic, but we will focus on minimizing such inconvenience."
Emergency martial law refers to martial law declared by the president when the social order is extremely disturbed due to military war, events, or similar national emergencies, making it difficult to perform administrative and judicial functions.
