South Korean Political Crisis: Han Dong-hoon Resigns Amid Impeachment Proceedings Against Yoon Suk-yeol
Han Dong-hoon, the president of South Korea’s People Power Party, resigned on December 16, 2023, following the National Assembly’s adoption of an impeachment motion against former President Yoon Suk-yeol. The Constitutional Court is set to review the motion’s validity, which could lead to Yoon’s ousting and a presidential election within two months. Meanwhile, Yoon, facing two rebellion investigations, rejected summons from prosecutors and risks significant legal consequences.
