President Park Geun-hye will follow the National Assembly's decision on her presidency, including her resignation, she said in a nationally televised speech from the presidential office on Tuesday.


"Once the ruling and opposition parties come up with measures to transfer power in a way that minimizes any power vacuum and chaos in governance, I will step down," Park said.

"I have laid everything down," the President said. "My only desire is for South Korea to break away from this chaotic state and return to its original state as soon as possible."
