Korean media: South Korean parliament votes to revoke martial law

On December 3, according to the Korea Herald, late Tuesday night, South Korea's president declared a state of martial law. However, if the opposition-controlled National Assembly votes to repeal the martial law, the decree will be short-lived. After South Korean President Yoon Seok-yuk made the unexpected move, the opposition Democratic Party quickly mobilized to repeal the decree, despite earlier reports that access to the National Assembly building was blocked under the emergency decree. Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung issued an emergency instruction to all lawmakers on the same day to meet in the National Assembly Chamber. Despite the access restrictions imposed by the decree, lawmakers began to gather in an effort to repeal the decree. As of 11:54 p.m. (22:54 Beijing time), it was unclear how many people had entered the building.
