BBC "Comparable to the January 6 U.S. riots...Damage to Korea's Democratic Reputation"

The BBC reported that President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law is recognized as a challenge to Korean democracy.

The BBC analyzed that the declaration of martial law will damage Korea's reputation as a democracy as much as the U.S. January 6 parliamentary riot.

In addition, President Yoon pointed out that although he put forward the threat of anti-state forces and North Korea, it quickly became clear that the declaration of martial law was due to his political crisis.

The BBC said it was unclear what would happen in detail in the future, but protesters gathered outside Parliament shouted for the arrest of Yoon Suk Yeol.
