The "martial law" controversy in South Korea is still fermenting.
According to the latest report from CCTV News, on the 6th local time, the leader of the ruling National Power Party in South Korea, Han Dong hoon, stated that he did not receive any reason to overturn his previous views during his meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk yeol that day. Han Dongxun will continue to demand that Yin Xiyue cease to serve as president.
In addition, on the same day, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense announced that the Commander in Chief of the Capital Defense, Li Zhenyu, the Commander in Chief of Special Operations, Guo Zhonggen, and the Commander in Chief of Defense Counterintelligence, Lv Yinxiong, were suspended.
On the 6th local time, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense apologized to the South Korean people for the sudden "emergency martial law" imposed by South Korean President Yoon Suk yeol late at night on the 3rd, stating that even if another martial law request is issued, the South Korean military will not accept it.
At the same time, South Korean officials revealed details of Yoon Seok yeol's order to arrest members of parliament.
In terms of the market. On the morning of December 6th, the South Korean capital market once again experienced a sharp decline, with the South Korean Composite Index plummeting sharply, with a drop of up to 1.8% at one point, before quickly rebounding and ultimately narrowing to 0.56%.
The South Korean won fell nearly 1% against the US dollar during trading, but the decline quickly narrowed. Some traders said that the South Korean foreign exchange authorities suspected selling US dollars to prevent the depreciation of the South Korean won.
Disclosure of arrest list
According to CCTV News, on the 6th local time, South Korean National Intelligence Service Director Zhao Taiyong and First Chief Hong Changyuan attended a meeting of the National Intelligence Committee and reported the situation related to the emergency martial law incident to the National Intelligence Committee. Some South Korean media reported that when President Yoon Suk yeol declared emergency martial law, he personally instructed Hong Changyuan to cooperate with the Defense Ministry's counterintelligence commander, L ü in, to arrest political figures such as the leader of the ruling National Power Party, Han Dongxun. Hong Changyuan stated:
At 20:22 on the 3rd, Yin Xiyue instructed Hong Changyuan by phone, saying, "There is something important to say in two hours." He asked Hong Changyuan to wait for the phone instructions.
At 22:53 on the 3rd, after the "emergency martial law" was announced, Yin Xiyue instructed Hong Changyuan over the phone, "Take this opportunity to arrest everyone and thoroughly clean up. The National Intelligence Service will also give investigative power, first of all, to assist the Defense Counterintelligence Commander of the Ministry of National Defense. We need funding and manpower
Hong Changyuan subsequently received an arrest list from the National Defense Counterintelligence Commander, Brother Lv Yin, in the following order:
Lee Jae ming, leader of the Democratic Party
Speaker of the National Assembly Yu Yuanzhi
Leader of the ruling National Power Party, Han Dongxun
Kim Min sik, the highest member of the Democratic Party
Park Chan dae, the representative of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives
Zheng Qinglai, the highest member of the Joint Democratic Party
Cao Guo, the leader of the National Revolutionary Party
News Factory anchor Jin Yujin
Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Kim Myung soo, and others
Hong Changyuan said that Brother Lv Yin also stated that he would arrest the first and second batches of targets in sequence and detain them in the detention facilities of the Anti Spy Bureau for investigation.
On the 6th local time, the South Korean Presidential Office once denied that South Korean President Yoon Seok yeol had instructed the arrest of political figures after announcing martial law. The South Korean Presidential Office stated that Yoon Seok yeol did not order the arrest of any political figures. But then the South Korean presidential office withdrew the relevant statement.
There are currently differing opinions in the South Korean political arena regarding whether Yoon Seok yeol ordered the arrest of a person. According to external analysis, whether Yoon Seok yeol ordered the arrest of political figures may affect the ruling party's inclination towards impeachment voting, thereby influencing whether the impeachment case will pass through the South Korean National Assembly, and may also become important evidence in the investigation of the "crime of internal strife" in the future.

Cease the exercise of presidential duties
After the martial law controversy, the opposition party in South Korea reported an impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok yeol to the plenary session of the National Assembly in the early morning of the 5th, citing Yoon Seok yeol's violation of the constitution and laws. After former President Park Geun hye, South Korea has once again entered the time to impeach the current president.

The ruling party of South Korea, the National Power Party, expressed its clear opposition to impeaching the president on the 5th. According to the National Assembly Act of South Korea, the National Assembly is required to vote on whether to pass a motion within 24 to 72 hours after the report. According to relevant procedures, if the impeachment case is passed by the South Korean National Assembly, Yoon Seok yeol will be immediately suspended and the Prime Minister will act as the President. The Yoon Seok yeol impeachment case will enter the South Korean Constitutional Court for trial. The presidential powers will remain suspended until the final ruling is made by the Constitutional Court. If the Constitutional Court rules that the impeachment case is passed, Yin Xiyue will be immediately dismissed; If the Constitutional Court does not approve of the impeachment case, Yoon Suk yeol will restore the presidential powers.
Previous analysis suggested that if there were no defectors among the ruling party members, the likelihood of the impeachment case passing was not very high. However, the leader of the ruling National Power Party in South Korea, Han Dong hoon, recently stated on the 6th that it has been confirmed that President Yoon Seok yeol ordered the arrest of several key South Korean politicians under the pretext of "anti state forces" during the "emergency martial law", and that Yoon Seok yeol must be relieved of his presidential duties as soon as possible. This statement is considered a hint that Han Dong hoon will support the impeachment case to be passed in parliament.
South Korean President Yoon Suk yeol held a meeting with South Korean ruling party leader Han Dong hoon at the Presidential Palace this afternoon (6th).
According to the latest report from CCTV News, Han Dongxun stated that during his meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk yeol that day, he did not receive any reason to overturn his previous views. Han Dongxun will continue to demand that Yin Xiyue cease to serve as president.
According to the public opinion survey results released by the South Korean polling agency "Real Meter" on December 5th local time, 73.6% of the respondents support the impeachment of President Yoon Suk yeol, while 24% of the respondents express opposition.
Will Yin Xiyue go to the parliament?
The South Korean National Assembly implements regulatory measures
The reporter from the headquarters learned that on the afternoon of the 6th local time, it was reported that South Korean President Yoon Seok yeol went to the National Assembly to attend the ruling party's general assembly of legislators. After the news came out, opposition party lawmakers gathered at the entrance of the parliament building to prevent Yoon Suk yeol from entering the parliament. The parliament also immediately took measures, allowing only personnel holding a pass to enter and exit. Earlier, the South Korean National Assembly was fully regulated, with members and staff of the parliament prohibited from entering or leaving.
The opposition party has cancelled the scheduled full meeting of the National Defense Commission at 15:00 that day, and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Yu Yuanzhi, who was scheduled to issue an emergency statement at 15:20, has also temporarily cancelled the schedule. In addition, South Korean Prime Minister Han Deok soo canceled his schedule for the afternoon and stated that he would closely monitor the "impeachment case".
Subsequently, the Presidential Office issued a statement stating that there were no arrangements for the President to visit Congress.
Speaker of the National Assembly Yu Yuanzhi issued an emergency statement according to the original plan and stated that he had not received any notification from the President that he would go to Congress, and due to the difficulty in ensuring security, if the President had plans to go to Congress, he called for a suspension of the trip. He also stated that a 'second martial law' is absolutely unacceptable.
