South Korea’s constitutional court has initiated the impeachment trial proceedings for President Yoon Suk Yeol, suspended for declaring martial law amid political unrest. Following a parliamentary vote, the court has six months to decide on his fate, with public hearings expected to take months. The ruling People Power Party is facing turmoil as its leader resigns. The court’s functioning is currently impacted by a shortage of justices but has committed to proceeding. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo is acting as president while Yoon’s potential return to the stand remains uncertain.
