[K-wave] Nighttime rally and events mark one year since martial law declaration at National Assembly


Turning the calendar to the evening of December 3rd, 2024 here in Korea. A martial law declaration shook the nation. One year later, a massive nighttime rally was held outside the National Assembly on Wednesday, closing a full day of remembrance events, including music and exhibitions. Arirang's Moon Hye-ryeon files this report. A large rally outside the National Assembly on Wednesday night marked the climax of a full day of commemorative events held to observe the first anniversary of former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration.

People filled the streets despite below-freezing temperatures, with music, speeches, and banners recalling last year's nationwide protests, setting a charged, energetic tone. "It feels like time has flown by. Some issues have been resolved, while others remain, but as a citizen, I will continue to work hard to address even those that haven't been resolved." Lawmakers from the ruling Democratic Party and members of other liberal parties also joined the rally, standing with the public as they reflected on the events of a year ago. The nighttime rally capped a day of programs and exhibitions held throughout the National Assembly compound.

Beginning in the morning, visitors were invited to view a photo exhibition documenting scenes from the hours when martial law was in effect. The collection includes images of military vehicles, civic resistance, and the historic plenary session in which all 190 lawmakers present voted unanimously to demand the lifting of martial law — a moment many consider a turning point in the crisis. A series of guided "dark tours" also launched on Wednesday, offering the public a firsthand look at key locations tied to the events of last year.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik led the inaugural tour himself on the first day, walking participants through the fence he climbed to enter the building, the second-floor entrance where lawmakers confronted martial law troops, and the grounds where military helicopters landed. Special displays now mark each site, and the tours will continue through Friday. The anniversary program continued late into the evening, with a media façade projection on the outer walls of the Assembly, recounting the timeline of the crisis and its aftermath.

Combining videos shot from a year ago with performances and music to commemorate the occasion, the twenty-minute show offered a reflection on the events that took place a year before and all that followed, drawing crowds well into the night. "Standing here one year on, the National Assembly now serves both as a memorial space and as a reminder of how decisively the public and lawmakers responded in a moment of crisis. Moon Hye-ryeon, Arirang News."
