South Korea’s prime minister, ruling party leaders, and presidential office advisers are set to convene an emergency meeting at 2 p.m. local time (12 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, as reported by the Korean News Agency. The meeting comes in the wake of President Yoon Suk Yeol's recent decision to retract a martial law decree, a move that sparked turmoil in the country and intensified calls for his resignation.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding the meeting, it remains unclear whether President Yoon will be in attendance. The backlash against Yoon has been widespread, with criticism coming from various political factions, including his own ruling People Power Party. Reports indicate that the party is contemplating the possibility of demanding the resignation of the entire Cabinet and the dismissal of Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun. Additionally, discussions are underway within the party regarding the potential call for Yoon's resignation, as detailed by the Korean News Agency.
