South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces mounting pressure as he prepares for a second impeachment vote following a controversial declaration of martial law. His defiant stance during speeches, where he defends the martial law decree and vows to fight against impeachment efforts, reflects a deepening political crisis in the nation. Opposition leaders are calling for his removal, highlighting a growing discontent among South Koreans who see democracy at stake.
