Is there any additional news from the president's office?

[Reporter]
The president's office said that the chief of staff and senior secretaries expressed their collective resignation at around 9:30 a.m. today,
Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok and Chief of Policy Seong Tae-yoon
, as well as Chief of National Security Shin Won-sik
It seems that all senior secretaries such as Hong Chul-ho, senior secretary for political affairs, and Lee Do-woon, senior secretary for public relations, are included.

Earlier, Director Jeong Jin-seok reportedly told his staff to preside over the meeting at 8 a.m. today and to consider the issue of his future collectively.

As a result, senior secretaries of the presidential office seem to have responded with their intention to resign immediately after the meeting.

This morning's meeting was reported to have been shorter than usual in a gloomy atmosphere.The resignation of the staff was expected to some extent due to the aftermath of President

Yoon's declaration and lifting of emergency martial law, but the resignation was made in a surprise move within five hours of the announcement.

We need to see if the company will be repaired immediately.

This is because if the presidential impeachment bill is handled in the National Assembly, there are practical matters to be dealt with.

In addition, criticism is expected to rise over what judgment President Yoon's declaration and lifting of martial law came from, and the resignation of high-ranking aides responsible for assisting the president without dealing with the aftermath.

President Yoon postponed today's public schedule?

[Reporter]
That's right. President Yoon stopped the public schedule that he had scheduled before the declaration of the emergency martial law.

An official from the presidential office said that at 10 a.m. today, the schedule of the drug response inspection meeting that President Yoon was supposed to preside over will be postponed.

In addition, the aftermath of the emergency martial law crisis is expected to cause considerable disruption to President Yoon's external schedule.

The presidential office is currently not responding to reporters' reports, including whether President Yoon will express additional positions.

Last night, the situation that restricted reporters from entering has been cleared up, and the president's office seems to be as usual, but the atmosphere is expected to remain chaotic for the time being due to the aftermath.
