In a heartfelt address on Tuesday, South Korea's impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol extended his apologies to the nation regarding his recent martial law bid. 🇰🇷
Yoon firmly denied any allegations of committing \"insurrection\" tied to his decision to declare martial law during an impeachment hearing that could officially remove him from office.
\"The opposition party claims that I declared martial law to establish a dictatorship and extend my rule. This is a fabricated scheme to frame me for insurrection,\" Yoon stated passionately to Seoul's Constitutional Court. 🗣️
Supporting his stance, Yoon's legal team has called for the dismissal of his impeachment, arguing that the opposition's unilateral actions forced his brief imposition of martial law.
Adding to the tension, South Korea's National Assembly legal team demanded Yoon's removal from office earlier on Tuesday.
As the nation watches closely, Yoon's apology marks a significant moment in this unfolding political saga. Stay tuned for more updates! 📰
