The South Korean opposition party says Yoon Suk-yeol is mentally unstable

ChainCatcher news, on the morning of December 12 local time, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol delivered another televised address, refusing to step down early and denying that declaring martial law constitutes a crime of insurrection. Following Yoon's speech, various opinions in South Korea quickly criticized him. The largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, stated that Yoon is in a state of mental instability and called for the National Assembly to pass an impeachment motion. Han Dong-hoon, a representative of the ruling party, also stated after Yoon's speech that there was no sense of reflection in Yoon's remarks and that he was rationalizing his actions.

Some commentators pointed out that Yoon may anticipate being unable to prevent the National Assembly from passing the impeachment motion and is looking for ways to influence the final ruling of the Constitutional Court. The chaos in South Korean politics is likely to continue. (Jinshi)
