CoinVoice has learned that on the morning of December 12 local time, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol once again delivered a televised address, rejecting calls to step down early and denying that declaring martial law constitutes a crime of insurrection. Following his speech, various factions in South Korea immediately began criticizing him. The largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, stated that Yoon Suk-yeol is mentally unstable and called for the National Assembly to pass the impeachment bill. Han Dong-hoon, a representative of the ruling party, also stated after Yoon's speech that there was no sign of reflection in his remarks, and he was rationalizing his actions.

Comments have pointed out that Yoon Suk-yeol may anticipate being unable to stop Congress from passing the impeachment bill and is looking for ways to influence the final ruling of the Constitutional Court, suggesting that the chaos in South Korean politics is likely to continue.
