South Korea's largest opposition party: Yoon Seok-yuet will move forward with impeachment proceedings if he does not step down immediately

After South Korean President Yoon Seok-yuk declared martial law and lifted it more than six hours later, the Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, urged Yoon Seok-yuk to step down immediately and said that if he did not resign immediately, he would move forward with impeachment proceedings. According to reports, the Democratic Party issued a resolution containing the above content after calling an emergency meeting of lawmakers in the National Assembly on the same day. The resolution reads: "Yoon Seok-yuk's declaration of emergency martial law is a clear violation of the constitution and did not comply with any conditions required for the declaration of (martial law)." The declaration of emergency martial law itself is invalid and a serious constitutional unconstitutional act. "This is a serious act of civil unrest and a perfect reason for impeachment." The Democratic Party said that "if Yoon Seok-yuk does not step down immediately, it will immediately enter the impeachment process on behalf of the will of the people".
