South Korea’s prime minister, ruling party leaders and presidential office advisers were scheduled to hold an emergency meeting at 2 p.m. local time (12 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, according to Yonhap News Agency.
The meeting follows the reversal of President Yoon Suk Yeol’s short-lived martial law decree overnight, which plunged the country into chaos, and as calls grow for the leader to resign.
It is unclear whether Yoon will attend the meeting.
Yoon has faced backlash from across the political spectrum, including his own ruling People Power Party, which said it was considering demanding the resignation of his entire Cabinet and the dismissal of Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun, Yonhap reported. It is discussing whether to demand Yoon’s resignation, according to Yonhap.
