The SHOCKING Reason Why PRESIDENT YOON Declared MARTIAL LAW in Korea: HIS WIFE

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol abruptly placed the nation under martial law on Tuesday night. Immediately, the nation’s shocked public protested on the streets and National Assembly lawmakers broke through a military blockade to vote to cancel the martial law declaration. At 4:27am the next morning, President Yoon capitulated and canceled his 6-hour martial law episode.

But even though President Yoon gave a list of reasons including communist influences, drug crime and political sabotage, observers are still wondering why he would take such a drastic move. However, if one considers that next week lawmakers would be very likely to succeed in the next step to jailing his wife, it becomes clear that he may have done all of this for the First Lady. Is this really a tale of star crossed lovers where Romeo is willing to sacrifice Korea’s democracy to save his Juliet?
