韩国总统尹锡悦在12月3日晚上突然宣布全国进入紧急戒严，声称此举是为铲除亲朝鲜势力。然而，在各方强烈反对下，他在六小时内迅速撤销戒严令，但这戒严令已在韩国政坛引发巨大震荡。

反对党随即联合提交对尹锡悦的弹劾动议，但弹劾案在上星期六因未达到全体会议法定表决人数而撤销。大批韩国民众在首尔举行大型抗议集会，要求尹锡悦下台。与此同时，韩国检方宣布已对尹锡悦涉嫌内乱展开调查，他也被禁止出境。

尹锡悦的政治前途是否已走到尽头？这场风波又将如何影响国际社会对韩国的看法？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人吴汉钧与韩国外国语大学孔裕植教授，以及《联合早报》驻首尔通讯员姜贵瑛详细解析宛如韩剧情节的尹锡悦戒严风波。

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's sudden declaration of martial law on December 3 has thrown the nation into political disarray. His attempt to curb pro-North Korean influence was met with swift opposition, resulting in the lifting of martial law within six hours. This upheaval has led to a stalled impeachment motion due to a lack of quorum and mass protests demanding Yoon's resignation. Compounding the situation, Yoon faces a legal investigation for alleged insurrection and is barred from leaving the country. This crisis not only casts doubts on Yoon's political future but also has significant implications for South Korea’s international reputation.
