The standard constitutional remedy is to have martial law automatically expire after a few days (without being able to be imposed afterwards for a while, etc.) unless the parliament votes to confirm it. But apparently South Korea doesn’t have anything like that.

This is in practice useless. The time for action is while the usurper is conslidating power. After a few days, they've either won or lost.

Yeah, as russia has shown any treaties all the way up to constitutions are only worth something if all power parties agree to respect them. Otherwise just a wishful thinking or food for academic discussions.
