 Life in South Korea appears back to normal after

 

Daily life appears to be back to normal in South Korea, where the “political earthquake” brought by President Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief declaration of martial law overnight remains on everyone’s lips, CNN’s Senior International Correspondent Ivan Watson reports from Seoul.

There was no obvious extra security presence or checks Wednesday morning at Incheon airport, the main gateway to South Korea on the outskirts of the capital, and Seoul’s cafes are once again packed with office workers on their lunch break, Watson said.

“Life on the streets of the Korean capital seems absolutely normal,” Watson said, after a dramatic night of political turmoil and protests demanding Yoon’s resignation.

The president’s declaration of martial law Tuesday before making a quick U-turn when lawmakers rejected the move was a “mistaken gamble,” Watson added, as support for Yoon dissolves following the remarkable events.

Yoon has faced a backlash from across the political spectrum, including his own ruling party, and his future as leader now hangs in the balance.
