. The military said they will only withdraw if Yoon orders it to end. They're ignoring parliament. Hell they blocked them from going in to vote

If Yoon stays silent for several hours after this and does not end the order, he will be going rogue as a dictator and will be continuing Martial Law in an unconstitutional and illegal status. South Korea will fall to a military dictatorship and I expect elections along with all courts to be suspended indefinitely.

This was a planned coordinated effort by military figureheads and Yoon.

To go further, if this coup is successful , it would not surprise me if in a few days, all 190 who got in to vote to end the order are either jailed or executed for "anti-state" activities.

Edit: Yoon lifted the order. Better luck next time (it's coming again). Next time he'll have them shoot anyone trespassing into parliament.

Apparently the defense minister was made aware ,(they had tanks ready) but did not go through a cabinet approval (which is constitutional law)

There needs to be explaining for this along with a potential military tribunal
