Following Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and financial authorities also said, "The emergency martial law was wrong."

Following Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, officials from the Ministry of Economy said that the December 3 emergency martial law was a wrong decision.

Lee Bok-hyun, chairman of the Financial Supervisory Service, who attended the National Assembly's special committee on parliamentary investigation, said, "I think it's wrong," when asked by Min Byung-duk of the Democratic Party of Korea whether the emergency martial law was wrong during a special committee on the National Assembly's "investigation into the truth of the alleged civil war through the declaration of emergency martial law in Yoon Suk Yeol" today.

Kim Byung-hwan, chairman of the Financial Services Commission, also said, "I think it's wrong."

"Emergency martial law is a wrong decision in light of the constitution and law," the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said in a report by Kim Jin-myung, head of the planning and coordination office. "At that time, Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok expressed his opposition and came out of the meeting first and refused to request his signature to attend."

Acting President Choi also explained that he was notified of the meeting early the next morning, but he was absent because he judged it was a meeting under martial law, and that he decided to ignore the note received from the presidential office about securing reserves and submitted it to the investigative agency.

Asked if the implementation plan for the presidential office's note was discussed at the macroeconomic and financial issues meeting and the so-called F4 meeting held immediately after the emergency martial law, Lee Bok-hyun said there was no mention of the document at all and that he mainly talked about market stability.
