Yes, the ruling and opposition parties have responded one after another since President Yoon Suk Yeol's additional statement.

First of all, Han Dong-hoon, the representative of the People's Power, said he was sorry for the disastrous situation and stressed that President Yoon Suk Yeol should explain in detail himself.

He also argued that Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who proposed martial law, should be immediately dismissed and all responsible officials should be held strictly responsible.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho also said he was sorry and explained that he was unable to attend the vote because he was communicating with lawmakers who could not come to the National Assembly at the time of the plenary vote.

He added that he is not communicating with the president's office, saying that he is not attending the plenary session.

The People's Power plans to hold a general meeting of lawmakers at 8 a.m. in a little while to discuss further countermeasures.

The opposition camp also argued that President Yoon should step down?

[Reporter]
Yes, right after President Yoon's acceptance of martial law lifting, Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party, blasted the whole nation that it was clear that President Yoon could no longer run normal state affairs.

He then urged President Yoon to step down immediately, saying it was the people's order.

This is the first time the Democratic Party has called for the resignation of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The Democratic Party also claimed that CCTV confirmed that martial law forces stormed the Democratic Party's party leader's office and tried to arrest and detain Lee.

He added that there were attempts by martial law forces to arrest Han Dong-hoon, representative of the People's Power, and Woo Won-sik, chairman of the National Assembly.

The martial law army's attempt to suppress armed forces by entering the National Assembly could be a crime of rebellion, and the government plans to review related precedents.

Cho Kuk, chairman of the Innovation Party, also set the day that President Yoon's duties should be suspended immediately when the sun rises.

The Social Democratic Party and the Basic Income Party argued that President Yoon should step down immediately and transfer the government peacefully, and the New Reform Party also strongly criticized that the ruling and opposition parties should immediately proceed with impeachment and unanimously suspend President Yoon's duties.
