President Yoon tries to retain his cabinet members, but says ”If we leave the pro-North Korean left in place, the country will collapse” = South Korea

Just before declaring emergency martial law on December 3, South Korean President Yun Seok-yeol, despite attempts by his Cabinet members to stay put, warned, "If we leave the pro-North Korean leftists alone, the country will collapse."
The special martial law investigation headquarters of the prosecution stated in the indictment for former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun on charges of playing a key role in the civil unrest that,
According to the indictment, President Yoon and former Defense Minister Kim decided to hold a Cabinet meeting just before the declaration of martial law at 10 p.m. on December 3rd.
From around 9:00 p.m. until around 9:33 p.m., he instructed former Prime Minister Han Deok-soo and other State Councilors to "hurry and assemble in the presidential office" without explaining the reason for the meeting.
With the number of State Council members who had gathered in the Presidential Office in response to the call for the meeting not yet reaching the required number, former Prime Minister Han, who had learned of the plan, entered the Presidential Office and told President Yoon, "I will declare emergency martial law.
"If the government were to withdraw from the Korean peninsula, the economy would face great difficulties. There is also concern that the country's credibility would decline," he said. Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol also said, "Not only would it have a diplomatic impact, but it would also damage the economic and social security system that Korea has built up over the past 70 years.
"It will ruin everything we have built up," said Choi Sang-mok, deputy prime minister for economics and finance, who also said, "Declaring emergency martial law will have a fatal impact on the economy and the country's credibility, so it must not be done."
However, President Yoon responded, "If we leave the pro-North Korean leftists alone, the country will collapse, and the economy and diplomacy will all fall apart. The State Councilor's understanding of the situation is different from that of the President.
There is no going back," and it was reported that he was instead instructing on measures to be taken after martial law is declared.
