I have no clue as to what exactly drove Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law, but it's pretty clear massive protests and a unanimous vote against this action by the National Assembly is why he backed down.
Given that President Yoon's administration has been hamstrung by corruption and incompetence, and that his popularity is approaching that of a case of jock itch, my guess is that this was a political calculus.
No clue as to where everything goes from here, but given that the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) has announced a general strike until Yoon steps down.
Additionally, the opposition in the National Assembly has announced the beginning of impeachment proceedings against the President.
I'm not sure how likely that would be to pass, but the opposition holds a significant majority in the chamber.
My guess would be ……… F%$# that ……… I do not know enough to make a guess.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
