South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law at 10:25 PM on December 3, only for the National Assembly to unanimously pass a resolution demanding its revocation 2 hours and 35 minutes later, at 1:00 AM on December 4. The resolution was passed with all 190 members present voting in favor during an extraordinary session of the National Assembly. Following the vote, the Speaker’s Office stated, “The declaration of martial law is nullified as a result of the resolution to revoke it.” The President’s Office has not yet issued an official response regarding the resolution. According to Article 77, Clause 5 of the South Korean Constitution, the content is as follows: Article 77 (Martial Law), Clause 5: “When martial law is declared, the President must report it to the National Assembly without delay, and if the National Assembly demands the lifting of martial law, the President must comply.” This clause regulates the authority of the President and the role of the National Assembly concerning the declaration of martial law. It is designed to prevent the abuse of martial law and ensure democratic governance.

[@sanchoha3554]

North Korea is ruled by a tyrant who kills anyone who tries to leave the country. Almost everyone lives in poverty and if you speak out against the government, you'll be thrown into jail or executed along with the rest of your family. It's really sad. I'm sure a lot of South Koreans who still have family in the north would love for the Koreas to unite. However, as long as North Korea has the backing of China, not much we can do. Also, I'm pretty sure East Germany lost control to West Germany after the wall was taken down. The west side offered a much better quality of living thru globalization.
