- #SouthKorea President Yoon's address today made one thing clear: he has no plans to resign. Meanwhile, Party Leader Han Dong-hoon has called for a vote on his removal this Saturday. With additional support from the ruling party, the #impeachment motion has a higher possibility of passing.
- Why would President Yoon favor #impeachment? Some possibilities: 1️⃣ Retain legal protections as president until a final ruling 2️⃣ Use impeachment as a platform to defend his actions in an official trial 3️⃣ Delay the presidential election, avoiding the opposition momentum that resignation could trigger
