South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok called on Friday(March 14, 2025) for the nation to respect and accept any decision, ahead of a Constitutional Court’s ruling on the impeachment of leader Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law order.

Mr. Choi also said the Government would mobilise all possible police resources to areas around the court, pledging no tolerance for any acts challenging public authority.

“The international community is keeping a close eye on the Republic of Korea. Our country’s democratic resilience is being tested,” Mr. Choi said at a meeting with Cabinet Ministers.

“It is essential for social stability and community development that all citizens express their opinions in a legal manner and respect and accept the results of any decision,” he said.
