Earlier at 10:25 p.m. on the 3rd, President Yoon declared emergency martial law in an emergency statement at the presidential office in Yongsan, shocking the people. President Yoon said in a statement, `The state administration is paralyzed and the people's sighs are increasing. This is a clear anti-state act that tramples on the constitutional order of the Free Republic of Korea and disturbs the legitimate state institutions established by the Constitution and laws, and plots civil war. People's lives are not considered, and the state administration is paralyzed only by the impeachment and the profligacy of the opposition leader of the independent counsel,' he said.

However, in the early morning of the 4th, about 2 hours and 30 minutes after the declaration of the emergency martial law, the National Assembly passed an emergency resolution calling for the lifting of the emergency martial law, and President Yoon lifted it six hours after declaring it and withdrew the martial law history.
