The Center for Military Human Rights claimed that multiple Army units received orders to "prepare for emergency assembly of commanders" by the 8th, calling it "suspicious circumstances of a second emergency martial law."

On the 6th, the Center held a press conference at their office in Mapo-gu, Seoul, stating, "Multiple units received instructions from higher commands on the 4th that company commanders and above may be subject to emergency assembly by the 8th, and therefore leave is being controlled." The Center added that this was included in the guidelines to allow regular soldiers' leave to proceed as normal. They also noted that the 8th is the day after the National Assembly plenary session votes on the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol, arguing that "there is ample reason for suspicion."
