SEOUL (The Korea Herald/ANN): Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing growing speculation over the likelihood that he may voluntarily resign from his position before the Constitutional Court’s verdict officially determines whether he is to be ousted.
Such speculation does not appear to be dying down, even as Mr Yoon’s lawyers ruled out any possibility of his resignation and South Korean law indicates that resignation is not a viable option for an incumbent president who is accused of leading a self-coup and faces both a criminal and an impeachment trial.
