FACT , President Yoon Suk-yeol did not declare martial law with overwhelming power like Putin. Instead, South Korea is in a dire situation because lawmakers controlling 190 seats in the National Assembly have slashed almost all crucial national budgets to zero, preventing the government from operating normally. While President Yoon declared martial law in response, it was blocked again by the 190-seat majority. South Korea is facing a severe crisis due to the overwhelming influence of left-wing legislators. On top of that, public opinion is dominated by leftist forces, and global left-leaning media outlets are shaping the narrative to their advantage.
