South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol faced parliamentary moves to impeach him after he sent heavily armed forces into Seoul's streets with his baffling and sudden declaration of martial law that harkened to the country's past dictatorships.
The article discusses South Korea's brief and tumultuous period of martial law, which was declared in 1979 following the assassination of President Park Chung-hee. This period was marked by significant political instability and public unrest. Martial law was imposed by General Chun Doo-hwan, who later seized power in a coup. The enforcement of martial law led to widespread protests, particularly in the city of Gwangju, where the Gwangju Uprising took place in May 1980. This uprising was brutally suppressed by the military, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries. The martial law period ended in 1981 when Chun Doo-hwan officially became president, but it left a lasting impact on South Korean politics, contributing to the push for democratization in the following years. The article highlights how this era is remembered for its authoritarian measures, the suppression of civil liberties, and the violent response to public dissent.
