South Korea opposition fears ‘agitated’ Yoon could take another shot at martial law
South Korea’s opposition has expressed fears over a second coup bid by an “agitated” President Yoon Suk-yeol who continues to maintain silence on his short-lived martial law declaration, sparking anger from the ruling party which warned he posed a great danger to the country.

Yoon imposed the measure late Tuesday but revoked it hours later after lawmakers nullified the order. He faces an impeachment vote on Saturday.
The misguided decree also stoked discontent in Yoon’s administration, with Health Minister Cho Kyoo-hong calling it “illegitimate” and “unconstitutional”.
“I expressed my opposition to the martial law decree during the cabinet meeting,” Cho said on Thursday, adding that most cabinet members were against the move before Yoon abruptly left the conference.
“I was deeply shocked and at a loss for what to do.”

Yoon on Friday suffered a fresh blow to his wobbling presidency as the ruling People Power Party (PPP) showed support for suspending his constitutional powers.
