According to Korean constitutional law, if martial law is declared in a state of non-war, the National Assembly can vote to make the president stand it down. The National Assembly is gathering now. We are just now getting footage of inside the National Assembly.

I am watching MBC. The Speaker of the National Assembly (Woo Won-shik) just emphasized that there are procedural rules to follow and they will follow them.

There are 150 National Assembly members currently gathered. There should be 300 members in all. The current National Assembly is majority opposition (155). The Korean president is conservative.

They are now playing footage from the inside where soldiers are trying to enter the main assembly hall. The opposition (Democratic Party) aides are shown to barricading the doors. Live footage of the main assembly hall shows no soldiers.
