South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun on Wednesday apologized for causing public concern over President Yoon Suk Yeol's attempt to impose martial law and offered to resign, APA reports citing Yonhap.
The decision came after Yoon declared emergency martial law in an unexpected late-night statement but subsequently lifted it hours later as the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to reject it.
"I have offered my will to resign to the president, taking responsibility for all the turmoil caused by the emergency martial law," Kim said in a statement sent to reporters.
