Han Dong-hoon has resigned as leader of South Korea’s ruling People Power party, saying his position has become untenable after his dramatic decision to support President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment at the weekend.

“Martial law in the advanced nation that is South Korea, in 2024. How angry and disappointed must you have all been?” he said at a press conference on Monday.
