Fact check
Is it true: Yoon Suk-yeol Martial Law and the Anti-State Forces Conspiracy (December 2024)?
Partly — it's more complicated than the claim suggests.
President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law December 3 2024, citing "anti-state forces" and North Korean infiltration of the National Assembly. The National Assembly voted unanimously to lift it approximately 6 hours later; Yoon was impeached December 14 2024, arrested January 15 2025, and convicted of insurrection. The documented events are real and public. Yoon's underlying conspiracy framing — that opposition lawmakers were North Korean agents — was not supported by evidence and was used to justify an unconstitutional act.
