South Korea in political chaos with martial law attempt

For the first time since South Korea became a democracy some 40 years ago, a president declared martial law. But hours later, the opposition and members of his own party in parliament rejected the order. Nick Schifrin discussed what led to this undemocratic move by President Yoon Suk Yeol and what's next for South Korea with Frank Jannuzi.
