South Korea's presidential security chief Park Jong-joon has stepped down following a probe into his alleged role in obstructing efforts to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol. The resignation, submitted to acting President Choi Sang-mok on Friday, adds fuel to the country's ongoing political drama. 🔥
Park's office confirmed the move amid an anti-graft investigation into last week's incident. As head of the Presidential Security Service, he was responsible for protecting the nation's leaders – but now faces accusations of overstepping his mandate. 🛑
