President Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea declared martial law, but he backed down after members of parliament (MPs) voted to block it. Less than two hours after Yoon’s declaration, 190 of 300 MPs voted to block the martial law order.
After the vote, Yoon announced he would lift the order. The United States was reportedly surprised by Yoon’s announcement, and the US Embassy in Seoul warned US citizens to avoid protests after martial law was lifted.
