    Dec 10, 2024, 06:53 AM

    South Korea's parliament has passed a bill to appoint a special counsel to investigate President Yoon Suk-yeol's involvement in a martial law decree issued on December 3. The investigation aims to determine if the decree was unconstitutional or illegal. The National Assembly approved the resolution on December 10, urging the immediate arrest of President Yoon and seven others related to the martial law case. The bill also seeks to minimize the political fallout from the aborted martial law, with scenarios including the potential resignation of President Yoon by the end of April next year.
