On December 3rd, according to the Korean news agency Yonhap, South Korean President Yun Sik-yue made an emergency speech at the Blue House in Seoul, announcing the implementation of 'emergency martial law' to maintain the free constitutional order. Yun Sik-yue stated that by implementing 'emergency martial law', he will rebuild and defend the free Republic of Korea to prevent the country from 'going down the road of national destruction'. 'For this reason, I will eliminate the main culprit and anti-national forces that push the country towards the brink of destruction.' He emphasized that in order to ensure the freedom, security, and sustainable development of the nation, and to hand down the country intact to the next generation, it is necessary to implement 'emergency martial law' to prevent the influence of anti-national forces attempting to subvert the national system. Yun Sik-yue said, 'I will quickly eliminate the anti-national forces and restore the normal operation of the country. The implementation of martial law may cause inconvenience to the citizens, and I will strive to minimize the inconvenience.' Yun Sik-yue also stated that the implementation of martial law is inevitable to ensure the permanent development of the free Republic of Korea. The basic tone of South Korea's responsible and contributory foreign policy in the international community remains unchanged. 'I once again sincerely appeal to the citizens to trust me, as I only trust the citizens and dedicate myself to defending the free Republic of Korea.' (Xinhua)
