YOON “VERY SORRY”
Saturday’s televised address was Yoon’s first public appearance since he rescinded the martial law order.
“I leave it up to my party to take steps to stabilise the political situation in the future, including the issue of my term in office,” he said, promising there would be no second attempt to impose martial law.
Han said after the address that the president was no longer in a position to carry out his public duties and his resignation was now unavoidable.
Han said on Friday that Yoon was a danger to the country and needed to be removed from power, increasing the pressure on Yoon to quit.
In the end, however, almost all PPP members boycotted the vote. And one member who participated said he had voted against impeachment, though he said he did not believe Yoon was suitable for the office.
