I.M of the group Monsta X delivered breaking news about the declaration of martial law during a live radio broadcast.
I.M hosted 'Kiss the Radio with Monsta X I.M' live on KBS Cool FM from 10 PM on the 3rd. After finishing the first part, I.M said at the start of the second part, “I have breaking news. This afternoon, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared a state of emergency martial law.”
As the broadcast was conducted as a visual radio, I.M showed signs of tension, biting his lower lip while delivering the news of the martial law declaration.
Upon hearing this, netizens reacted with comments like, “I never thought I would see an idol delivering breaking news about martial law in my lifetime,” and “He has become the first idol in history to deliver martial law breaking news.”
Meanwhile, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared a state of emergency martial law starting at 11 PM on the 3rd. In response, the National Assembly held a plenary session around 1 AM on the 4th to pass a resolution demanding the lifting of martial law, and President Yoon lifted the martial law after 6 hours.
