Martial law crisis.. The South Korean Defense Minister submits his resignation

Media reports said on Wednesday that South Korean Defense Minister Kim Young-hyun submitted his resignation against the backdrop of unrest related to martial law.
Kim had supported President Yeon Suk-yeol’s decision to declare martial law, which was later reversed.
In a statement carried by South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, Kim said, “I have presented to the president my desire to resign, taking responsibility for all the disturbances caused by the emergency state of martial law.”

The Defense Minister also made a public apology for his role in this crisis, and President Yoon unexpectedly declared martial law last Tuesday night, but later canceled the decision only hours later due to massive political opposition.
The opposition signed a proposal to begin procedures to remove the Minister of Defense, and the proposal is scheduled to be presented to the National Assembly tomorrow, Thursday, and it will be voted on either the day after tomorrow, Friday, or Saturday.
The largest opposition party had previously accused the conservative head of state of violating the constitution and called on him to resign immediately.
