The leader of Yoon Suk Yeol’s party has urged the South Korean president to explain his “tragic” decision to introduce martial law and called for the country’s defense minister to be fired.
“As the ruling party, we feel deeply sorry to the public,” People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon said in a statement to reporters early on Wednesday morning local time.
“The president must directly and thoroughly explain this tragic situation,” he added. “The minister of defense, who recommended this martial law, should be immediately dismissed, and all those responsible must be held strictly accountable.”
The People’s Power Party had immediately opposed the president’s move to introduce martial law, calling it unconstitutional.

Yoon’s own party urges him to drop martial law order
From CNN's Rob Picheta
President Yoon Suk Yeol’s own political party has urged him to drop his efforts to introduce martial law in South Korea, as the country’s political blocs unite in opposition to the move.
A consensus was reached against the effort during a People’s Power Party meeting, the Yonhap news agency reported, shortly after lawmakers in the National Assembly
voted to block the move.
The party urged Yoon to “accept the National Assembly’s resolution to lift martial law and promptly lift it,” Yonhap reported.
It’s unclear whether the president will relent to pressure from his party and accept the parliamentary vote, which he is required to do by South Korean law.
