Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party (PD) noted that Yoon Suk-yeol is “no longer president” of South Korea.

Lee Jae-myung's statements are due to the application of Martial Law by Yoon Suk-yeol, after Parliament approved a 2025 budget bill to dismiss a state auditor and the chief prosecutor, the RT news agency reported.

“With the illegal declaration of emergency martial law, Yoon Suk-yeol is not the president of South Korea as of this moment,” Lee Jae-myung said in a video released on social media.

“There is no reason to declare martial law. We cannot allow the military to govern this country,” said Lee Jae-myung, while assuring that “President Yoon Suk-yeol betrayed the People.”

This Wednesday (local time) the South Korean Parliament approved a bill to repeal Yoon Suk-yeol's Martial Law.
