South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol apologised on Saturday for plunging the country into political crisis with a martial law decree, saying he would leave it up to the ruling party to decide his fate.
“I sincerely apologise to the public,” Yoon said in a televised address, as opposition parties prepare to vote on an impeachment motion later in the day. Yoon declared martial law late on Tuesday, but the order was retracted hours after the National Assembly voted unanimously to nullify it.
