SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s embattled president apologized Saturday for public anxiety caused by his short-lived attempt to impose martial law hours ahead of a parliamentary vote on impeaching him.
President Yoon Suk Yeol said in a brief televised address Saturday morning he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promised not to make another attempt to impose it. He said he would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.”
“The declaration of his martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said.
“My bad, guys. I promise not to try that dictator shit again, just please don’t remove me from office!”
Meanwhile in the US our insurrectionist President whined for 4 years straight, got re-elected so his tariffs could somehow cure inflation, and is now ready to do it all bigger and better than last time. Buckle up, dumbfucks, you get to experience what South Korea just prevented through their vigilance.
What did south korea prevent?
He is still not in prison…?
He’s not even going to lose his job
I mean this shit was less than a week ago. His impeachment vote is not done yet.
He should be in cuffs before he even has time to go “just a prank bro”.
Yes it is now, I read.
Yeah that was messed up.
If he was taking responsibility he would resign from office and retire from politics.
Will he reimburse the costs for the whole affair from his personal account?
Yeah he won’t take responsibility. He already had the chance.
