      On December 3, when President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea declared martial law, soldiers were deployed to the National Assembly, blocking access and creating chaos. Despite the military presence, some opposition politicians physically fought past soldiers and barricades to reach the emergency meeting. Their actions allowed an emergency session to take place, where 190 lawmakers voted unanimously to overturn the martial law order.
