From trade and diplomacy to markets and budgets, South Korea struggled to contain the fallout from the president's brief but shocking martial law attempt last week, just as the country navigates an uncertain future with its ally the United States.
Life largely went on without disturbance for South Koreans on Monday, but behind the scenes officials scrambled as President Yoon Suk Yeol's administration faces criminal investigations and impeachment attempts that cast doubt over his future in office.
