South Korea’s Defense Minister Says Goodbye 👋
Hey there! Have you heard what’s happening in South Korea? It’s a bit like an exciting drama!
The Defense Minister of South Korea, Mr. Kim Yong-hyun, has decided to step down from his important job. He apologized to everyone and gave his resignation letter to the president, Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol.
Why did he resign? Well, the main opposition party (that’s the group that doesn’t agree with the people in charge) wanted to remove him from his position. They were upset about some big decisions he was involved in, like the confusion over emergency martial law.
What’s emergency martial law? It’s a special rule where the military gets extra powers during times of great trouble. Imagine if there was a big emergency, and the army had to help out more than usual!
The president had declared this emergency law on Tuesday night, but canceled it early Wednesday after the National Assembly (that’s like their big meeting of leaders) voted against it.
Now, lots of important leaders are thinking about leaving their jobs too! Even the Prime Minister, Mr. Han Duck-soo, says he wants to keep serving the people until the very last moment.
It’s a bit of a rollercoaster in South Korea’s government right now! Let’s all hope things settle down soon. 😊
