Summary
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces an impeachment attempt following his brief declaration of martial law, which sparked widespread outrage and protests.
Lawmakers from his People Power Party (PPP) walked out of parliament, leaving opposition leaders eight votes short of the two-thirds majority needed for the motion.
Yoon apologized publicly but refused to step down, while opposition leaders and much of the public demand his resignation.
His actions have triggered investigations into insurrection and treason, further destabilizing the country’s political landscape.
He had leaders of his own party on a list to be arrested. Imagine being so far up your own ass that you don’t get rid of the guy who might have had you killed just to prevent the other side from getting a W.
