South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol justified his recent martial law declaration, saying it was an act of governance.
He argued it is not something for the courts to judge, accusing the opposition of abusing the impeachment process, which he claimed "paralyzed" his government's work. Despite this, Yoon promised to face any impeachment or investigation with dignity.
Over the weekend, a motion to impeach Yoon over this declaration was dismissed in parliament, but the lawmakers vowed to continue to push for impeachment.
