South Korean President Yoon Survives Impeachment Amidst Protests and Arrests

TL;DR Summary
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol narrowly avoided impeachment after declaring martial law, as his party's lawmakers boycotted the parliamentary vote. The opposition accused him of insurrection, but the motion failed due to a lack of quorum. Protests are expected to continue, with the liberal opposition planning to resubmit the motion weekly. Yoon's martial law declaration, which was quickly overruled by the legislature, has sparked controversy and accusations of sinister motives, including alleged plans to arrest opposition leaders.
