Condemning remarks with candles and pickets..."President Yoon resigns immediately"
Civil Liberties Speech "Declaring Emergency Martial Law, Impossible"
Candlelight vigils have been held all over the country since today (4th), when the first emergency martial law was declared in 45 years and lifted in six hours at the request of the National Assembly,
A rally is also being held in front of the
National Assembly to call for the president's resignation.
I'll connect with a reporter on the field to find out more about the situation.
Please tell me about the situation on the ground.
[Reporter]
Last night (3rd), citizens who gathered in front of the National Assembly to protest the emergency martial law gathered on the stairs of the main building of the National Assembly today.
Because the stairs are full and there are no seats, some citizens are joining the rally with signs containing slogans next to the stage.
Citizens are holding candles and shouting that the president should be impeached immediately.
The candlelight vigil began around 6 p.m. today, and citizens continued to speak freely before the main event began.
Various citizens, from second-grade middle school boys to college students from the provinces, gathered to denounce the declaration of emergency martial law.

What are your plans for the future rally?
[Reporter]
The rally participants said they will hold a rally at 7 p.m. every evening in the National Assembly until Yoon Suk Yeol steps down.
He also announced that he will gather near the city hall and hold a large-scale rally on Saturday.
He also criticized President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law as anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.
Although the situation was settled early as the National Assembly quickly resolved a resolution calling for the lifting of martial law, he also stressed that President Yoon, who pointed a gun at the people, can no longer be recognized as the president of the Republic of Korea.
In addition, he said that it is the best that President Yoon Suk Yeol can do now to step down on his own in order to resolve the chaos in state affairs as soon as possible.
