The situation in South Korea escalated on December 3, 2024, after the president declared martial law, which was caused by the threat of paralysis of power due to attempts to conduct impeachment proceedings. The commander of the emergency regime, Chief of Staff of the Army Pak Ahn Su noted that until the lifting of martial law, the activities of Parliament, political parties and associations are prohibited.

Later, on May 1 of this year, Younhap reported that the former president of South Korea and a defendant in the criminal investigation of the rebellion, Yoon Seok-yeol, was charged with abuse of power. At the same time, the agency noted that there was no physical detention of the ex-president.
