South Korean Cabinet Ministers Resign

BlockBeats News, December 4th, according to Yonhap News Agency, as reported, due to South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's implementation and lifting of martial law, including the Chief of Staff, senior presidential aides, on the 4th collectively expressed their intention to resign. The Presidential Office announced to the press corps that day that the heads of each office in the Presidential Office and the Chief Secretaries collectively expressed their intention to resign.

The resigning personnel include Presidential Office Chief of Staff Jung Jeon-suk, National Security Office Chief Shin Won-shik, Policy Office Chief Sung Tae-in, and chief secretary-level or above aides. It is reported that the chief secretary-level aides held a meeting that morning under Jung Jeon-suk's chairmanship and agreed to resign collectively. If the senior aides resign collectively, it will paralyze the Presidential Office, so whether Yoon Suk-yeol will accept all the resignations is still unknown.

In addition, Yoon Suk-yeol was scheduled to attend a meeting on the situation of drug control and governance that morning, but due to the martial law controversy, the meeting was postponed. Yoon Suk-yeol's other activities will also inevitably be affected.
