Residents MOSTLY UNAFFECTED
Ms Denise, 30, who has been travelling solo around Seoul since mid-November, said that she was also walking around the Yongsan city until about 1am last night, and did not feel worried for her protection.  ,
” It’s very peaceful here, and it’s been like this since the declaration last night. The only change was that I could hear planes”, she told CNA.
In fact, Ms. Denise, who declined to provide her title, claimed she had never heard about the information until her friends in Singapore began reaching out to check on her.
She said,” Maybe I’m just processing the whole thing, but I’m basically just watching the visitors to see if I should stress or not,” adding that she has registered her movements with MFA.
” I’m also making it a point to prevent places where I know there are protests, but then, I’m not doing anything unique”.
Mr Zachary Wu, who is travelling in Seoul with friends, said he felt” a bit of stress” when the announcement first broke and was thinking about their health.
However, the party quickly realized that things were going as they should and that things were running as usual and will continue making plans to leave the area for day trips.
The 35-year-old added that the party may be taking steps to be inside by 10pm in case of any unexpected protests.
Matthias Ong, a scholar, breathed a sigh of relief knowing that his solution for Dua Lipa’s music in Seoul on Wednesday night won’t be wasted.  , The 31-year-old has been living in the city on a scholar card for the last seven weeks.
” I’ve been excited and hoping since yesterday that it will remain, Mr Ong said.  ,
” I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks. Since I’ve been based around, Dua Lipa’s Singapore foot of her journey is not available for me, and Seoul is her final Asian stop. I am aware of this being particularly crucial for Dua and her supporters. ”  ,
On Wednesday afternoon, Live Nation Korea announced on social press that the music at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul would go as planned.  ,
When the information first broke, Mr. Ong was at home last night in the Sinchon region and did not feel stressed or hear anything unusual. He was at home there last night.
As I was about to experience a traditional time, I had more of a sense of surprise and uncertainty. I always understood that living in South Korea meant social unrest may occur, but it was still surprising to see it really occur, he said to CNA.
The school at which Mr. Ong is currently enrolled also informed him that since the law had already been reversed, the first day of the new school term will begin as planned.
” I think the situation was brought under control because luckily the legislation was lifted very immediately.” I’m convinced my thoughts would’ve been a little different the next day if that weren’t the situation.”
Brandon Yap, an international disputes attorney based in South Korea since the start of this year, claimed he was unconcerned by the circumstance and that it was “business as usual” for him.  ,
He was informed of the military law through companions in Korea and social media. Mr. Yap claimed that his phone had been “blown up” with friends and family reaching out to check on his well-being since last night’s creation.  ,
” Everything was happening around me so I felt very secure, and I was watching the ballot on (television )- the defense didn’t seem like it was taking steps to assault everyone,” said the 31-year-old, who lives in the Gangnam district.
