On September 7, a statement revealing alleged plans of the Student Representative Council (SRC) to impeach former President of Undergraduate Association Emergency Response Committee (UA) Hyun Huh received unwelcome attention on the online platform Everytime. The President of the Department of Chemistry, the representative of the impeachment motion, claimed that Huh had lacked competence in running the UA, pointing out the disorganized internal structure of the former UA — the budget approval was delayed, and a SRC meeting date was announced two days before it took place without the consensus of any SRC member. 

The impeachment plan was nullified as Huh stepped down from the UA, SRC, Central Operative Committee (COC), and other related student councils the following day. In his resignation letter, he remarked, “I am disillusioned with internal politics and people who smile in front of me and stab me in the back… Even though I am leaving the UA now, no matter who leads the UA in the future, I ask you to work hard for the student community.” 

However, following the resignation, greater controversy arose over the impeachment motion preparation and the contents of the post on Everytime. The President of the Department of Chemistry stated that he had already received consent from the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Physics, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and the School of Electrical Engineering to impeach Huh and sought to reach out to other SRC members. However, the presidents did not express their official stance through a joint letter, and many soon declared their official statements after Huh’s resignation, denying that they had agreed to the impeachment plan. Criticism spread over the misleading information and wording of the Everytime statement and the President of the Department of Chemistry had no choice but to make a public apology on Everytime.   

While both committees reached a consensus, the UA faced mass resignations of UA executives. Although their reasons for resignation were not clarified, five out of nine secretaries resigned: the Secretary of Information Technology, Finance, Cultural Events, Executive Secretary, and the Director of International Exchange. The student body is still left with more questions than answers, as no further official statement has been announced. Despite the unforeseen changes in the UA, recruitment of students who “have a will to change the student community” have taken place to take on the vacant positions. After Huh’s resignation, former Vice President of the UA Jeong Ho Park serves as an acting president.
