South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing mounting pressure to resign over his failed attempt to impose martial law, as parliament moves closer to a vote on his impeachment.
The capital Seoul has seen a second day of street protests demanding Yoon’s resignation while police said he was being investigated for “insurrection”.
The opposition is pushing for a vote on the motion to impeach Yoon on Saturday, even as the president’s party has said that they are against it.
It needs at least eight members of Yoon’s party to vote for his impeachment for the motion to pass with a two-thirds majority in the 300-seat parliament.
