South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol looks determined to battle on rather than step down early even as probes deepen into his martial law declaration and more members of his party say they will back impeachment.
Yoon will likely fight any bid to impeach him and appears to have rejected the idea of quitting early in February or March, according to Kim Jong-hyuk, a senior ruling party member, speaking in an SBS radio show on Wednesday.
