Summary

Yoon’s chief of staff, policy chief, national security adviser, special adviser on foreign affairs and security, and all senior secretaries tendered their resignation.

Their decision followed Acting President Choi Sang-mok’s approval of two new judges to the Constitutional Court, which is set to rule on Yoon’s impeachment.

The move drew criticism from Yoon’s People Power Party, calling the decision “dogmatic.”

Yoon, impeached over allegations of leading an insurrection, became the first sitting president to face an arrest warrant.

Acting President Choi rejected the resignations.
