South Korean President Willpidato Ahead Of The Impeachment Voting In The Aftermath Of Military Emergency

JAKARTA - South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will make a public speech on Saturday morning, ahead of the impeachment vote in parliament following the imposition of a military emergency.

The speech will be the leader's first public appearance to be fought since Yoon lifted a military emergency order on Wednesday morning, just six hours after it was announced, after parliament opposed military and police security to vote against the decision.

On Friday, Yoon-led leader of the People's Power Party said the president was a danger to the country and needed to be removed from power.

Members of parliament will vote to impeach Yoon, who shocked the country on Tuesday evening when he declared martial law to eradicate what he called anti-state forces' and address hindering political opponents.

Several PPP members urged Yoon to resign before the vote, saying they did not want President Park Geun-hye's impeachment to repeat in 2016.
