Defense Minister nominee Kim Yong-hyun rebuked speculations that his appointment is part of a broader government plan to declare martial law.

During Kim 's confirmation hearing, members of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea ( DPK ) focused on concerns that his nomination, as a retired three -star Army general, might be a strategy by the Yoon Suk Yeol administration to tighten control over the military.

Some lawmakers suggested that this could lead to martial law being declared to suppress public protests, especially as the president faces growing political challenges.
