SOUTH Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol has been removed from office after attempting to stage an armed coup in the country.

The leader had declared martial law and violated the constitution by mobilising military and police forces to obstruct the parliament in December.

The declaration of martial law, which lasted only about six hours, sparked the country’s worst political crisis in decades.

Suk Yeol apologised to the public of South Korea for not living up to people’s expectations.

He said: “I am so sorry and regretful that I couldn’t live up to your expectations,” Yoon said in a message delivered via his lawyers.

“I’ll always pray for the Republic of Korea and everyone.”
