Impeachment and Public Response
South Korea's Constitutional Court announced it would rule on President 's impeachment, a decision awaited after months of intense public debate and protests. Yoon was impeached over a controversial martial law declaration.
Public opinion remains largely in favor of Yoon's removal, with significant protests from both supporters and opponents of his presidency, highlighting a deeply divided nation.
Political and Legal Ramifications
If the court upholds the impeachment, Yoon will be removed, triggering a snap presidential election within 60 days. This scenario would mark Yoon as the second South Korean president to be impeached.
The court's decision could either restore Yoon to office or plunge South Korea into further political chaos, with potential implications for international relations and domestic stability.
