South Korean media: Cabinet members opposed martial law, but Yoon Seok-yeol insisted on his own way

According to a report by the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo on December 4, South Korean cabinet ministers collectively resigned, and the prime minister, the ruling party, and the presidential office will hold an emergency meeting at 2 o'clock local time. All cabinet members expressed their resignation on the 4th. According to a person related to the ruling party, this morning, when meeting with Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, the members expressed their gratitude to Prime Minister Han Deok-soo. According to reports, the South Korean prime minister, the leadership of the People's Power Party, and the advisers of President Yoon Seok-yeol decided to hold a meeting at the prime minister's residence in Jongno District, Seoul at 2 pm to discuss matters related to the lifting of the blockade. Before Yoon Seok-yeol announced martial law on the evening of the 3rd, he held a cabinet meeting at the Yongsan Presidential Palace to review the martial law order, but was opposed by the cabinet members present. According to a ruling party official on the 4th, on the evening of the 3rd, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo and other cabinet members received a notice to come to the presidential palace. About half of the 19 cabinet members arrived at the presidential palace and held a cabinet meeting around 9 pm. It is said that most of the members, including Prime Minister Han, did not know in advance that the martial law order was being reviewed, and only learned about it when they arrived at the scene.
