South Korea’s opposition leader Lee Jae-myung denounced the newly imposed martial law as “illegal” and called on the public to gather at the parliament in protest.

“President Yoon Suk Yeol’s illegal imposition of martial law is invalid,” said Lee, who narrowly lost to Yoon in the 2022 election, during a live stream. “Please come to the National Assembly now. I am heading there as well,” he added, urging citizens to join him in opposing the martial law.
