Police have blocked people trying to enter the National Assembly since President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency martial law.
As time passes, the main gate of the National Assembly is closed to control access at all.
Only lawmakers, aides, officials from the National Assembly Secretariat, and reporters from the National Assembly were allowed to enter after identifying themselves.
Military helicopters appeared over the National Assembly, and over time, military troops gathered in front of the National Assembly, raising tensions.
There were also situations in which citizens gathered in front of the National Assembly were confronted by the news of the declaration of martial law.
As time went by, the number of citizens increased.
The confrontation was resolved little by little after the "Resolution on the Resolution to Release the Emergency Statute" was passed at the plenary session of the National Assembly at around 1 a.m.Troops from
also withdrew outside the National Assembly, and citizens blocked returning martial law vehicles and chanted slogans against emergency martial law.
Due to the unusual situation that occurred in the middle of the night, severe traffic congestion continued around the Capitol.
Even after the Cabinet voted to lift martial law, some citizens continued to protest on the road until morning.
When it was time to go to work, the police moved the citizens over the sidewalk, which caused some clashes, saying it was a forced dissolution.
" Uh, the woman fell down. Everyone, the woman fell down."
In the morning, the police lifted control of the main gate of the National Assembly, and citizens continued to protest, saying that President Yoon should take responsibility for the martial law incident and resign.
