South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has defended his controversial decision to declare martial law, asserting it was necessary to protect democracy amid growing political turmoil. In a televised address, Yoon emphasized that his actions were legal and aimed at combating what he termed a ‘parliamentary dictatorship’ from the opposition. Despite facing impeachment efforts and investigations, he vowed to ‘fight to the end’ and take responsibility for his actions, framing the opposition as a threat to public safety and democracy.
