SEOUL -- South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Saturday morning apologized for the "anxiety and inconvenience" caused by his imposition of a short-lived period of martial law earlier this week, saying he would take "legal and political responsibility" for his action.
"I'm very sorry and I apologize to the public, who must have been deeply surprised," Yoon said in a brief televised address. He also said he would never announce a second martial law order.
