A short time ago today (Tuesday; Wednesday Korea time), the South Korean Parliament voted 190-0 (out of 300; only 190 managed to enter or be present in the parliamentary building) to void President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law in the country.

The Korea Parliamentary Speaker also declared a short time ago that the declaration of martial law is not legal, thus joining with the President's own conservative party and the leader of the opposition.
