At that moment, withsome of our party officials, I was having a late dinner near Yeongdeungpo Market, not far from the National Assembly. Suddenly, we heard that Yoon was about to make a national address. I thought, ¡®At this hour?¡¯ Normally, such announcements are made during the day. I wondered, ¡®Is it right at 10 p.m. and not 10 a.m.?¡¯ Then, a YouTube link to the live broadcast was posted. We all watched it together, and at first, he was talking about anti-state forces and the budget. Then, he suddenly declared a state of martial law. I was utterlyshocked and bewildered. However, since our party had been warning since thelast general election that this kind of declaration could happen, I had a vague understanding that if martial law were imposed, the National Assembly would becontrolled. | |

Freediving has recently emerged as a popular new water sport. Unlike scuba diving, freediving involves exploring underwater without the aid of oxygen tanks or other breathing equipment. Instead, divers rely solely on a single breath, making it a challenging sport that pushes the limits of human potential. Into 2025, the popularity of freediving is accelerating. Beautiful underwater photos and videos shared on social media have captivated many, while the launch of the ¡°Divebring¡± platform in Jan. has played a significant role in fostering a community for freedivers.
