Senior aides to the suspended President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Wednesday, offered to resign en masse, a day after their office expressed regret over acting President Choi Sang-mok’s approval of two new judges to a court set to decide Yoon’s fate.
In a statement on Wednesday, Yoon’s chief of staff, policy chief, national security advisor and special advisor on foreign affairs and security, as well as all other senior secretaries, tendered their resignation.
A presidential official, who declined to be identified owing to political sensitivities, said the aides had repeatedly expressed their intent to step down following Yoon’s botched attempt to declare martial law on December 3, but their resignations have not been accepted.
