A previous vote to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol failed when it was boycotted by lawmakers from his party, but several have now supported his removal.

Summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by the National Assembly for his unconstitutional declaration of martial law.

The vote, which required a two-thirds majority, saw support from both the opposition and members of Yoon’s governing party.

Yoon, suspended from state duties, faces investigation and potential rebellion charges, while the country grapples with political turmoil and North Korean propaganda.

    I totally agree the result was injustice. Just saying that there isn’t a difference yet.
