In a significant political development, South Korean lawmakers have impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after he attempted to impose martial law, prompting large-scale protests. The impeachment motion received support from some members of Yoon’s own People Power Party, passing with a two-thirds majority. Thousands celebrated outside the National Assembly, expressing their desire for Yoon’s removal. With Yoon suspended, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has stepped in as acting president. The constitutional court now has 180 days to decide on the impeachment’s validity, and if upheld, a presidential election would be triggered.
