Ruling party chief Han Dong-hoon said Tuesday that President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law is "wrong" and that he will "block it" together with the people.

Han of the People Power Party issued the statement shortly after Yoon declared martial law citing the need to eradicate pro-North Korea forces and defend the free constitutional order. (Yonhap)
