South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has declared his willingness to accept full political and legal responsibility for his decision to impose martial law in the country, according to reports from the Yonhap news agency.
The controversial move has sparked a political crisis, with Han Dong-hoon, leader of the ruling party, asserting that the president’s resignation may be unavoidable. Opposition parties and critics have accused Yoon of abusing his authority by imposing martial law without sufficient justification, raising concerns over an alleged attempt at a violent power grab.
Adding to the turmoil, South Korea’s National Assembly is set to convene a plenary session at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday (8:00 a.m. GMT) to vote on Yoon’s impeachment. Before this, the parliament will decide on initiating an investigation into First Lady Kim Kyung-hee, further deepening the political crisis surrounding the presidency.
If the impeachment motion passes, it could mark a turning point in South Korea’s political landscape, with significant implications for Yoon’s administration and the country’s stability.
