Kim Ene-sol, a 30-year-old restaurant employee, said she was “overwhelmed by a sense of panic” when she heard the news.
” I thought I had quit this, yet if I have to put my life at risk”, she said.
In announcing military laws, the president had labelled the criticism, which holds a lot in the 300-member congress “anti-state makes intent on overthrowing the regime”.
One opposition senator told AFP that he had travelled to the legislature in a taxi to vote against the move and that he had feared being arrested under the government’s sweeping new capabilities.
” Yoon has committed revolution with military laws declaration”, Shin Chang-sik said.
In the parliament’s grounds, police stood up and arrested people who attempted to climb over the border.
Because the gate had been locked off, Shin claimed some of his own lawmakers were forced to erect over the gate to cast their votes.
The audience erupted in cheers as the news broke, and Yoon eventually made it happen by imposing his military rules.
However, the joy was tempered by doubt as to why it had occurred.
Lim Myeong-pan, 55, said that Yoon’s determination to revoke military law did not preclude him of crime.
It is a serious offense in itself to impose it on Yoon without any justification, Lim said.
With this,” He has paved his own way to prosecution.”
