On December 12, President Yoon Suk Yeol delivered a televised address defending his decision to declare martial law.

He stated, "Whether it be impeachment or an investigation, I will face it all head-on." He further explained, "I declared martial law as a legal power held by the president to return the administrative affairs of this country to normalcy and to defend this country from the danger of an administrative paralysis. It was a political decision made with much consideration by the president and a decision that could only be lifted upon the request of the National Assembly."

Despite President Yoon Suk Yeol's latest statement, the Democratic Party of Korea formally submitted the new impeachment motion, originally slated for December 11. However, revelations during committee sessions in the National Assembly, including the National Defense and Judiciary Committees, prompted the party to delay the filing to strengthen its case.

Many Korean netizens also favor President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment and are further criticizing his latest televised address.

They commented:

"Stop it already."

"Why is he still in office? Someone arrest him already."

"I don't want to hear your nonsense."

"Hope he dies."

"I watched the live broadcast and I couldn't stand him anymore."

"He must be senile."

"No one is going to side with him even if he defends himself."

"He's so self-absorbed."

"He's definitely will be remembered in history."

"He's just complaining during this televised address."

"Hope you the best. Lol."

"It'll be worst for him if he opens his mouth."

"He's making everyone's blood pressure rise."

"I'm afraid he would declare he is mentally unstable to get a lesser sentence."

"Geez."

"No one wants to listen to your nonsense."

"Um... he should stop... it's better for him."

"Yeah... I guess he can keep broadcasting his position."

"He has no interest in the nation."

"I'm pretty sure he's pretending to be this dumb to use it to his advantage later."
