South Korea's ruling party leader said on Friday that President Yoon Suk-yeol needs
00:05
to be removed from authority for the safety of the country for trying to impose martial
00:10
law, but stopped short of urging members to vote for impeachment.
00:15
Speaking after a party meeting at the parliament, party leader Han Dong-hoon said Yoon had ordered
00:21
the arrest of prominent politicians over grounds that they were among those anti-state forces
00:27
during the martial law.
00:29
The main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung said the declaration of martial
00:33
law was a rebellion waged by the president in order to maintain or extend his power.
00:39
Yoon shocked the nation and his own ruling People Power Party on Tuesday when he announced
00:44
he was imposing martial law in order to root out anti-state forces and overcome obstructionist
00:51
political opponents.
00:52
Meanwhile, morning commuters in Seoul were joined by protesters on Friday ahead of an
00:58
expected vote on whether to impeach Yoon.
01:01
The protests and a heavy police presence follow Yoon's surprise move to declare martial law
01:07
on Dec. 3.
