Description
Book Introduction
This book is a record of the breathless moments from the night of December 3, 2024, when the Speaker of the National Assembly, having confirmed the declaration of martial law, rushed to the National Assembly in 17 minutes, climbed over the wall, passed the resolution to lift martial law, and initiated the impeachment of the president.
No one could have imagined that there would be so many unknown anecdotes that occurred during the process of the Speaker of the National Assembly's selection and decision to protect democracy in a situation where every second counted.
This anecdote is not the record of one Speaker of the National Assembly.
This is a report that reports to the people on how perfectly the National Assembly has carried out its responsibilities entrusted to it by the people.
The courage, ability, and wisdom of the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Speaker's Office, the National Assembly Secretariat staff, and their aides, who have worked together as one to overcome the constitutional crisis, are more than enough to confirm what kind of country the Republic of Korea is.
Their faith in their people is enough to make the people who sent them to the National Assembly proud.
The testimonies and records of those who experienced critical junctures in Korean democracy on the front lines, such as the National Assembly's emergency response to lift martial law and the impeachment process, will now become a great history written together with the Republic of Korea.

Publisher's Review
A record of that day, a time of crisis in the constitutional history of the Republic of Korea.
How the National Assembly Became Democracy's Last Bastion
This book is not my personal history.
December 3, 2024, a record of democracy written by all of the people of the Republic of Korea.
The leg that climbed over the wall and the hand that struck the gavel were mine.
But the force that made that moment of decision possible was the will of the people who defended democracy in the streets, at home, and at work.
_From the beginning
Now, a year after martial law was declared, National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, as the leader of the National Assembly that lifted the illegal martial law on December 3, has released "Over and Over", a book that restores the memories of that day.
This book records the tense journey of the Speaker of the National Assembly from the moment he leaves his official residence, to the moment he crosses the National Assembly wall and arrives at his office, where he plans and executes his strategy.
The footage will reveal scenes of the legal basis and operational decisions to lift martial law, the National Assembly Secretariat staff turning on the lights on all floors to conceal the Speaker's movements, and the security guards holding pistols preparing to protect the Speaker from martial law forces armed with automatic weapons.
At that time, the Speaker of the National Assembly was the last person responsible for restoring the normal functioning of the country by exercising the power granted by the Constitution.
"Over and Over" faithfully captures the weight of that responsibility and how the entire National Assembly moved to fulfill it.
This book is a valuable record showing “how the National Assembly became the last bastion of democracy.”
This was a real-life example of the constitutional order that the nation left behind as it navigated a crisis, and it was an event that proved that democracy in the Republic of Korea had matured.
"Over and Over" is the first record to compile the experiences of the Speaker of the National Assembly, who was at the center of this crisis, and will serve as a benchmark for preserving constitutional order in any future crisis.
'Oh, so that's what you were going to do.'
Did the National Assembly also sense signs of martial law?
The signs of martial law were so strange that I thought it was impossible.
It is also revealed that the National Assembly had been sensing an inexplicable current until that day.
On the day that Kim Yong-hyun, the Minister of National Defense, was appointed, a former general and military expert called the author and said, “That guy is extremely dangerous.
They might be planning something like a coup.
“Be careful,” he warned.
At the time, the reaction was more like, 'No way,' but after martial law was declared, the author recalls those words while in the car on the way to the official residence.
And only then do the various unusual measures taken by the government begin to connect with each other.
'Ah, so that's what you were going to do.'
This retrospective shows how Congress detected the signs and why they were not clearly interpreted at the time.
The executive branch's actions, as seen from the perspective of the Speaker of the National Assembly, reveal how subtle deviations from convention and procedure began to converge into a single flow.
Through these moments, "Over and Over" adds depth to its political and constitutional record by showing the relationship between the executive and legislative branches, which is rarely revealed in normal times, and how that balance is shaken in times of crisis.
'Only what is remembered is history.'
The heroes of independence who disappeared without a name
The sacrifice of the people who protected democracy
Politics will definitely remember and respond to this.
National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik is the grandson of independence fighter Kim Han, who served as the first director of the Provisional Government's Legal Affairs Bureau and was imprisoned for throwing a bomb at Jongno Police Station.
Mr. Kim Han was executed by the Stalin regime during the forced relocation of Koryo-saram from the Maritime Province, and his grandson, a descendant of an independence activist, became the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea.
In this book, the Speaker of the National Assembly revisits the history of the independence movement and democratization of Korea, which formed his roots, and the responsibilities of a democratic nation built on that history.
That historical awareness also led to the practice of changing the space of the National Assembly.
Speaker of the National Assembly Woo Won-sik created the 'Independence Memorial Plaza' in the front yard of the National Assembly Library, allowing all citizens visiting the National Assembly to experience the flow of the independence movement firsthand.
As you walk along the floor where stars twinkle, you will come across the wall of anti-Japanese resistance fighters, the wall of the Korean Liberation Army, the wall of independence fighters' weapons, and the wall of independence fighters' songs, and at the end lies the 'Path of Light'.
The way the time of the independence movement is organized into a single path and connects memory and the present symbolizes the Speaker of the National Assembly's view of history, placing independence, democracy, and constitutional government within the same lineage.
National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik connects the spirit of the independence movement that flows through his blood, the space of memory he embodies in the National Assembly, and his experience preventing the constitutional crisis of December 3, 2024.
"Over and Over" is completed as a record that asks about the roots and present of the nation, as well as the future of democracy.
