South Korean President Yoon Impeached Over Martial Law Controversy
TL;DR Summary
South Korea's parliament has voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial attempt to impose martial law, marking the second impeachment of a South Korean leader in less than a decade. Yoon's decision to deploy soldiers to parliament backfired, leading to widespread calls for his removal. The impeachment, supported by members of his own party, suspends Yoon's powers pending a Constitutional Court ruling. This political turmoil adds to the uncertainty in South Korea, reminiscent of the 2016-2017 impeachment crisis of former President Park Geun-hye.
