Seoul, South Korea CNN —The leader of South Korea’s main opposition party thought the president’s late night martial law announcement was a deepfake when he first saw it, he told CNN on Thursday as his party now seeks to impeach the country’s leader.
There’s no way that’s real,’” he said, referring to the term for fake audio and video created with artificial intelligence.
Multiple members of Yoon’s party joined their political opponents in blocking the martial law decree during the remarkable late-night scenes inside parliament.
“We are concerned and afraid that President Yoon might make another declaration of martial law at any time … since the last martial law failed,” she told CNN on Thursday.
In November, he was indicted for personal misuse of public funds, and separately convicted and sentenced for violating election law.
