βThrough this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin.β
βI will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country.β
He asked people to believe him and tolerate βsome inconveniences.β
This immediately led to protests in the streets:

Here are more details, from the AP:
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law Tuesday, vowing to eliminate βanti-stateβ forces as he struggles against an opposition that controls the countryβs parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea.
The surprising move harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders that the country has not seen since the 1980s, and it was immediately denounced by the opposition and the leader of Yoonβs own conservative party.
Following Yoonβs announcement, South Koreaβs military proclaimed that parliament and other political gatherings that could cause βsocial confusionβ would be suspended, according to South Koreaβs Yonhap news agency.
The military also said that the countryβs striking doctors should return to work within 48 hours, Yonhap said. Thousands of doctors have been striking for months over government plans to expand the number of students at medical schools. The military said anyone who violates the decree could be arrested without a warrant.
It was not immediately clear how long Yoonβs martial law declaration could stand. Under South Korean law, martial law can be lifted with a majority vote in the parliament, where the opposition Democratic Party holds a majority.
TV footage showed police officers blocking the entrance of the National Assembly and helmeted soldiers carrying rifles in front of the National Assemblyβs main building to restrict the entrance of people.
Here is live video from Seoul:

Hereβs more from Reuters:
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Tuesday declared martial law in a surprise late-night TV address, slamming domestic political opponents and sending shockwaves through the country.
Yoon said opposition parties had taken the parliamentary process hostage. He vowed to eradicate βshameless pro-North Korean anti-state forcesβ and said he had no choice but to take the measure to safeguard constitutional order.
Yonhap news agency cited the military as saying activities by parliament and political parties would be banned, and that media and publishers would be under the control of the martial law command.
Yoon did not cite any specific threat from the nuclear-armed North, instead focusing on his domestic political opponents. It is the first time since 1980 that martial law has been declared in South Korea.
South Korea has had a series of authoritarian leaders early in its history but has been considered democratic since the 1980s.
The Korean won was down sharply against the U.S. dollar. A central bank official said it was preparing measures to stabilise the market if needed. Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok has convened an emergency meeting among top economic officials, his spokesman said in a text message.
In the finance world, some are tying this surprise move to a dip in Bitcoin and XRP:
