**Seoul, South Korea** – Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a public apology Friday following the Constitutional Court’s unanimous decision to uphold his impeachment. The ruling, which stemmed from a failed attempt to declare martial law, immediately removed him from office.
In a brief statement released after the court’s announcement, Yoon expressed remorse, stating, “I am truly sorry and heartbroken that I was unable to meet your expectations.” The specifics of the botched martial law declaration remain unclear, but the court’s decision marks a significant turning point in South Korean politics. The nation now awaits the appointment of an interim president and the scheduling of early elections.
