South Korea’s Yoon Suk Yeol has reportedly apologised for not living up to expectations, after he was removed from office by the country’s Constitutional Court. He also said that he will always pray for South Korean people, as per reports from Reuters.
In a nationally televised judgement, at least six out of eight justices ruled in favour of Yoon’s removal.
“Given the grave negative impact on constitutional order and the significant ripple effects of the defendant’s violations, we find that the benefits of upholding the constitution by removing the defendant from office far outweigh the national losses from the removal of a president,” the court’s acting chief Moon Hyung-bae said.
The ruling ends his tumultuous presidency four months after he threw South Korean politics into turmoil and necessitates a new presidential election within two months.
