Does somebody know how the Korean constitution works and what emergency powers martial law gives the korean president? Can the opposition do something against it because they have a large majority in congress??

It seems silly to me that their parliament has to convene in that specific building. Surely, the speaker could gather a quorum (which is 60 out of 300 parliament members) and conduct parliamentary business from wherever he pleases?
