SoKor's Yoon vows to fight 'until end'

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol has sent a letter rallying his supporters, saying he would "fight until the end" as he faces an attempt by authorities to arrest him over his short-lived Dec. 3 martial law, a lawyer said yesterday.

"I am watching on YouTube live all the hard work you are doing," Yoon wrote in the letter late on Wednesday to the estimated hundreds of supporters who have gathered near his official residence protesting his investigation.

"I will fight until the end to protect this country together with you," he said in the letter, a photo capture of which was sent to Reuters by Seok Dong-hyeon, a lawyer advising Yoon.

The opposition Democratic Party, which has majority control of parliament and led the impeachment of Yoon on Dec. 14, said the letter proved Yoon was delusional and remains committed to complete his "insurrection."
