South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has apologized for causing “anxiety” with his attempt to impose martial law. In a TV address on Saturday, he stopped short of resigning, leaving his political future to his party. Later today, he will face an impeachment vote in parliament, with opposition parties needing support from at least eight members of his ruling party to achieve the required two-thirds majority. The crisis began when Yoon declared martial law on Tuesday, which was swiftly lifted by Cabinet the next morning after MPs opposed it in a tense vote.
