Life in South Korea appears to be returning to normalcy following the recent political turmoil sparked by President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law. Despite the overnight upheaval, there is no visible increase in security measures at Incheon airport, the country's main entry point, and cafes in Seoul are once again bustling with office workers during lunchtime.
According to reports, the streets of the Korean capital are bustling with activity, giving the impression of business as usual. President Yoon's decision to impose martial law, which was swiftly reversed after facing opposition from lawmakers, has been described as a 'mistaken gamble' that has eroded his support among the public.
The backlash against Yoon is widespread, with criticism coming from various political factions, including members of his own ruling party. As a result, the future of his leadership hangs in the balance as the country navigates through this period of uncertainty.
