So, when did the Prime Minister and other State Council members become aware of the declaration of martial law? We reconstructed the situation at the time based on the remarks of the State Council members who attended the ‘Urgent Questions Regarding President Yoon Seok-yeol’s Unconstitutional Martial Law Declaration and Act of Insurrection’ at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 11th and 13th.

Approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes before sunset:
No Prime Minister has suggested gathering the State Council members before the reappointment order is issued. A problem to be decided by one or two people
I think it is not, and I think it would be better to persuade other State Council members and President Un to not make industry proposals.
Prime Minister Han’s explanation is that it is a good year.
Afterwards, ministers began to gather in the President’s office one by one. At 9 p.m., Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Tae-yeol went to the president’s house.
Prime Minister Kim Yong-hyeon, former Minister of National Defense, and former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min, were already guided to the office and brought in.

As Minister Cho came to his seat, President Un handed over a piece of paper declaring a state of emergency. paper frozen
There are several things written down that the Minister of Foreign Affairs will take after the declaration of the decree, including the words ‘overseas embassies’.
Minister Cho said at the event, “I hope that the declaration of an emergency system will collapse all the achievements made over the past 70 years at once.”
Although he has repeatedly asked for a reconsideration of the matter, saying it is a “serious issue that has to do with the capital,” the president has already made a firm decision.
It is said that there is no change in the point. After staying in the office for about 10 minutes, Minister Cho was asked to leave and went to the stand next to the office.
Move to the reception room;
Minister Cho had a discussion with Prime Minister Han about various concerns in the reception room, and then spoke between 9:10 and 9:40 p.m.
State Council members are also arriving one after another. The cabinet members who arrived waited in the reception room as well as Minister Cho.
It is reported that he repeatedly went into the President’s office and came out: Prime Minister Han also frequently visited the office and reception room.
Come on.
Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok’s side and Minister of Strategy and Finance arrived at the President’s Office relatively late, around 9:50 to 55 p.m. that day.
“(He called) me in plain clothes without knowing why,” he said. When Deputy Prime Minister Choi arrived, Prime Minister Han and another government official were there.
The non-committee member was in the reception room, and Deputy Prime Minister Choi said at the meeting, ‘The ruling will be declared soon.
Deputy Prime Minister Choi was surprised and asked Prime Minister Han, “Why aren’t you opposing the opposition?” Prime Minister Han responded, “There is no such thing as opposition.”
Afterwards, Deputy Prime Minister Choi and one or two other State Council members moved to the office and, at the time, moved to the office.
I met the lucky president while I was alone.
Deputy Prime Minister Choi said in a meeting with President Un, “(The declaration of martial law) will have a very profound impact on the economy.
“This cannot be done” has been suggested several times, but this has not been accepted either.
Regarding the situation at the time, Deputy Prime Minister Choi said, “I was there for a short time and I could not stop (the industry proclamation), but Choi Choi
“I tell you everything,” he said. “I will be the first to leave behind in that position, and I will speak to you over the phone from the president’s office.”
“(The Macroeconomics Meeting) has been convened,” he said.
Seung Mi-ryeong, Minister of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, is believed to have arrived in Yongsan earlier than Deputy Prime Minister Choi: 10 p.m.
Minister Song, who arrived around 10 to 15 minutes ago, said, “I don’t know the situation at all, so I don’t know what kind of meeting structure is being held.”
When I asked, there were only two words missing: ‘Gye-eop’: I was so shocked when I heard this that I was completely out of my mind. This doesn’t make sense.
“We talked about having to stop it, but the president wasn’t there,” he said, calling the situation at that time a war.
While Minister Song was panicking, President Un came to the conference room and stayed there for 2 to 3 minutes, but Minister Song did not remember.
President Non’s words are limited to the first word. There is nothing to “sit without discussing with someone.” Afterwards, the president again
Ridiculing the situation: Minister Song and other State Council members said to each other, ‘(The President) will be gone soon’ and there will be no problem in the meantime.
Someone else is playing a video on their phone. The President’s voice comes out of the phone.
