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.
