Some awoke to worried text messages from friends and family, who heard the news about President Yoon Suk Yeol's stunning martial law declaration Tuesday night. Yoon abruptly imposed emergency martial law, vowing to eliminate "anti-state" forces after he struggled to push forward his agenda in the opposition-dominated parliament.
