  • South Korea's swift rebuke of martial law and removal of President Yoon Suk Yeol from office have been hailed in the country as evidence of the strength of its young democratic institutions. Yoon has remained defiant throughout the turmoil that followed his martial law declaration.

The article discusses how South Korean democracy has withstood an attempt by President Yoon Suk Yeol to impose martial law, highlighting the resilience of its democratic institutions. President Yoon, known for his conservative stance and previous role as a prosecutor, has faced significant opposition from various sectors of society, including the judiciary, media, and public protests, which have effectively checked his more authoritarian inclinations. The piece details how Yoon's efforts to control the narrative around his administration's policies and his attempts to influence judicial independence have been met with resistance, underscoring the strength of South Korea's democratic framework. It also mentions the historical context of martial law in South Korea, contrasting it with the current situation where democratic norms and checks and balances are firmly in place, preventing a return to past authoritarian practices.
