In a significant political development in South Korea, President Yoon Suk-yeol's senior aides, including his chief of staff and all senior secretaries, have offered to resign en masse following a tumultuous night where Yoon declared and then revoked martial law. The decision to resign comes after the National Assembly blocked Yoon's surprise declaration of martial law. This mass resignation offer was reported by multiple media outlets, including Yonhap News Agency, which cited the presidential office. The move is seen as an attempt to take responsibility for the political crisis sparked by the martial law declaration.
