President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency martial law on the 3rd of last month, so tomorrow (the 3rd) is definitely a month.

Political tensions are at their highest in just a month, with an unprecedented series of incidents, including the impeachment of the president and the prime minister, and the issuance of a presidential arrest warrant.

On the night of the 3rd of last month, an unscheduled press conference for President Yoon.

Due to the Democratic Party's series of impeachment of administration officials and budget cuts, the "emergency martial law," which was thought to have been buried in history, was suddenly declared.

Opposition lawmakers, who have raised the possibility of martial law all along, quickly entered the National Assembly's plenary hall after midnight police control, and together with some ruling party lawmakers lifted martial law in two and a half hours.

One day after martial law was declared, the opposition party responded with an impeachment motion.

However, when President Yoon apologized and said he left his position to the ruling party, the ruling party's atmosphere changed, with then-Chairman Han Dong-hoon at the center, and the first impeachment bill failed.

However, the opposition party did not back down, and specific suspicions arose during the martial law process, including the arrest of politicians, and a week later, the second impeachment was passed.

In the aftermath of the impeachment, the "Han Dong-hoon leadership" collapsed and "pro-yoon" lawmaker Kwon Sung-dong was elected as the floor leader, and this time, the six-member constitutional court system emerged as an issue.

The six-member system was legally insufficient for hearing the case, but the opposition party pushed through the opposition party's opposition to a single hearing of three constitutional judges recommended by the National Assembly and the approval of the appointment.

All that remained was the appointment of an acting president, but Prime Minister Han Deok-soo was also impeached after suspending the appointment on the grounds of agreement between the ruling and opposition parties.

In the end, Deputy Prime Minister for Economy Choi Sang-mok, who became the acting president, appointed two of the three, which led to the evaluation that the instability of the impeachment trial process was somewhat resolved.

The investigation, which has been conducted separately from the impeachment trial, has led to the first arrest warrant for a sitting president in constitutional history.

As the political situation has been constantly fluctuating over the past month, many analysts say that the outlook for the new year is still foggy.

Some point out that the political circles of the ruling and opposition parties should put their heads together to prevent the impeachment from leading to clashes between the camps.
