South Korean president apologizes for martial law declaration

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on Saturday apologized to the nation for declaring martial law earlier this week, and said he made the declaration due to "desperation as president." In a short televised address to the nation at 10:00 a.m. local time (0100 GMT) ahead of an impeachment motion vote against him, Yoon promised he would not attempt to impose martial law again. He said he will not seek to avoid legal and political responsibility for the decision and will let his party decide his future.
