Amid a turbulent political climate, South Korean Acting President Choi Sang-mok addresses the nation, urging unity and trust. This call comes after President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment due to his short-lived martial law imposition.

With a recent plane crash adding to the nation's woes, Choi stresses maintaining a strong alliance with the United States and preparing to tackle forthcoming challenges as Donald Trump assumes US presidency. Meanwhile, support measures for small businesses and self-employed individuals are in focus to stimulate the economy.
