South Korean President Yoon Apologizes Ahead of Impeachment Vote Over Martial Law Declaration
Dec 7, 2024, 01:32 AM
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is facing an impeachment vote on Saturday evening after declaring martial law on Tuesday night, which he revoked within six hours due to intense pressure and public anxiety. The declaration reminded many of the country's past military-backed dictatorships and sparked planned mass street protests in Seoul. On Saturday morning at 10 am, Yoon delivered a televised address apologizing, stating he is 'deeply sorry and sincerely apologize for causing inconvenience and anxiety to the people.' He pledged not to impose martial law again and said he would not shirk responsibility but stopped short of resigning. Yoon has entrusted his fate to his ruling party and promised to accept legal consequences and future political decisions.
