South Korea's Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun resigned after accepting responsibility for ordering martial law, which drew heavily armed troops to encircle parliament. The main opposition Democratic Party filed a motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, who accepted the resignation.

    1. We'll file a complaint against Yoon, defence minister Kim Yong-hyun and interior minister Lee Sang-min, and seek to impeach them.

    1. It has been confirmed that Yoon is in such an abnormal state of mind that he should not be allowed to perform the duties of his office for even a single minute or second.

    Democratic Party of Korea
    1. This is an unforgivable crime -- one that cannot, should not, and will not be pardoned.
    2. The Yoon Suk Yeol regime's declaration of emergency martial law caused great confusion and fear among our people.
    3. We need to immediately suspend the authority of President Yoon. He has committed an indelible, historic crime against the people, whose anxiety needs to be soothed so that they can return to their daily lives.

    Jake Sullivan
    US National Security Agency
    1. South Korea's democracy is robust and resilient, and we're going to continue to speak out publicly and engage privately with South Korean counterparts to reinforce the importance of that continuing.
