South Korea’s political drama hit a boiling point this week as National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik slammed a joint statement by the prime minister and ruling party leader as a “blatant violation of the Constitution.” 🚩 The statement, released Sunday, claimed President Yoon Suk-yeol would step back from governing—a move Woo called “arrogant” and legally dubious.
⚖️ Constitutional Clash
Woo argued that transferring presidential power requires public mandate or impeachment, not backroom deals. “This isn’t a K-drama twist—it’s about respecting democracy,” he said, urging talks to suspend Yoon’s duties amid turmoil sparked by the president’s short-lived martial law declaration last Tuesday.
🔥 Resignation Rocks Cabinet
The chaos deepened as Interior Minister Lee Sang-min resigned Sunday, claiming he wanted to “prevent further disruptions.” His exit follows opposition accusations of complicity in Yoon’s martial law move and blocking lawmakers from parliament.
💥 What’s Next?
With impeachment talks gaining traction and protests likely, South Korea’s leadership crisis could reshape its political landscape. 🌏 Stay tuned as this high-stakes saga unfolds!
