South Korea's president, Yoon Suk Yeol, gave a brief televised address to apologise for his surprise decision to declare martial law, which led to widespread protests and calls for his resignation. He said he would not avoid legal or political responsibility but did not step down, saying it was up to his party to determine his tenure. Impeaching Yoon would require support from 200 of the national assembly’s 300 members. The opposition parties that jointly brought the impeachment motion have 192 seats between them
