South Korea's Yoon Faces Impeachment After Martial Law

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has faced a backlash following his abrupt declaration of martial law, which lasted only six hours before being overturned by the National Assembly. The opposition Democratic Party has called for his immediate resignation or impeachment, labeling the martial law as unconstitutional and an abuse of power. In a rare show of unity, lawmakers voted 190-0 to revoke the declaration, including members from Yoon's own party, while thousands protested outside the Assembly, demanding accountability. Yoon justified the martial law as necessary to eliminate 'anti-state' forces, but his actions have drawn comparisons to South Korea's past military rule, prompting concerns from the U.S. and widespread public outrage. Following the Assembly's vote, there have been calls for mass protests, particularly in Gwangju, a city known for its pro-democracy history. Yoon's chief of staff and senior officials have offered to resign collectively amid the crisis.
