South Korea's main opposition strongly condemned President Yoon Suk Yeol's statement on Thursday in which he said his martial law declaration was an act of governance.

The leader of South Korea's ruling People Power Party says he is now in favor of impeaching President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived declaration of martial law.

Yoon Suk-yeol, frustrated by his party’s electoral defeat, repeatedly discussed martial law with aides, despite their warnings, Yeo In-hyung said.
