South Korea’s National Assembly has impeached President Yoon Seok-yeol following his attempt to impose martial law. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has stepped in as acting president as the Constitutional Court deliberates on the impeachment, expected to decide within 180 days. If upheld, new elections must be organized within two months. Demonstrations supporting and opposing the impeachment are anticipated to continue. Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung is seen as a leading candidate for the presidency, despite facing legal challenges that could hinder his candidacy.
