Part 3/9:
As President Yoon's announcement settled in, a strong backlash materialized from political opponents. Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the opposition, publicly denounced Yoon’s actions and urged citizens to gather at the National Assembly. As protests snowballed, Yoon's own political party members expressed deep discontent against the president's actions, making it evident that the opposition was rallying significantly against him.
In the early hours following the declaration, the atmosphere grew electric as protests erupted outside government buildings. Citizens voiced their dissatisfaction, chanting against what they perceived as a blatant power grab by the president, who they claimed had betrayed the public trust.
