Yoon Suk-yeol stated that although a cabinet meeting was convened immediately, due to it being early morning, the number of participants was less than the legal quorum required for decision-making. Therefore, the meeting will be held as soon as the number reaches the legal quorum, and the state of emergency will be lifted. Yoon Suk-yeol also urged the National Assembly to immediately stop "unethical behaviors such as repeated impeachment, monopolizing legislation, and monopolizing the budget that paralyze the functions of the state."

The President of south korea, Yoon Suk-yeol, announced this morning (December 4) at the presidential office located in Yongsan, Seoul, through a live broadcast, that he has decided to accept the request of the National Assembly and lift the state of emergency. This was just over six hours after he announced the implementation of the state of emergency on the evening of December 3.

The south korea military will continue to maintain a high level of vigilance, as no abnormal situations have been detected in north korea.
