South Korea Bans President Yoon from Travel Amid Martial Law Probe

TL;DR Summary
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces a travel ban and ongoing political turmoil following his brief martial law declaration, which sparked widespread protests and an impeachment attempt. Although Yoon survived the impeachment motion due to his party's boycott, he agreed to shorten his term and abstain from state affairs. The opposition Democratic Party criticized this as unconstitutional, vowing to continue impeachment efforts. Key figures involved in the martial law order, including former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, have been arrested or resigned. Yoon apologized for the unrest but remains under scrutiny.
