Hey there! 🇰🇷 Let’s talk about some big news from South Korea.
South Korea’s acting defense minister, Kim Seon-ho, said sorry to everyone for the worry caused by something called “martial law” declared earlier this week by President Yoon Suk Yeol.
What is martial law? 🤔
Martial law is when the military takes control instead of the regular government. This can happen during emergencies, but it can be a bit scary because it means the army is in charge!
No new martial law! 🛑
There were rumors that another martial law might happen, but Kim Seon-ho said that’s not true! He also promised he wouldn’t follow any orders to make it happen again.
Investigations are starting 🔎
Prosecutors, who are like detectives making sure laws are followed, are going to investigate why martial law was declared. They’ll work with military prosecutors to find out what happened.
Leaders might meet 🤝
President Yoon and Han Dong-hoon, the head of the main political party, might have a meeting to talk about all this. But we’re not sure if that’s happening yet.
It’s an important time in South Korea, so let’s keep an eye on what’s going on! 👀
Thanks for reading! Stay curious! 😃
