section_name: Calls for resignation
paragraph_text: Calls for resignation
  
  On the morning of 4 December 2024, following the end of martial law, a large number of Yoon's staff immediately resigned such as Jeong Jin-seok, Kim Yong-hyun, and many other presidential secretaries. Additional staff also offered to resign. On 8 December 2024, PPP leader Han Dong-hoon stated that Yoon would resign as early as February 2025 if he remained in office. A PPP special task force proposed that Yoon leave office in February or March 2025 and called for elections to replace him to be held in April or May. However, on 12 December, Yoon issued a statement vowing to "fight to the end", resisting the push for his resignation, and claiming the martial law declaration was a legitimate "act of governance" against "forces and criminal groups that have been responsible for paralysing the country's government".
