South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Survives Impeachment Attempt Following Martial Law Controversy
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol narrowly avoided impeachment after a controversial martial law declaration aimed at breaking a political stalemate. The impeachment bill failed by three votes, with lawmakers from his ruling People Power Party (PPP) largely boycotting the vote. Yoon’s military rule announcement led to widespread protests and was quickly overturned. Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung vowed to continue efforts to oust Yoon, citing his actions as a significant threat to the nation.
