South Korea's Constitutional Court ousts Yoon Suk Yeol, igniting political upheaval

The Constitutional Court of South Korea unanimously voted to remove President Yoon Suk Yeol from office, marking only the second presidential impeachment in the nation's history. This decision follows Yoon's controversial declaration of martial law, deemed unconstitutional, leading to significant public division and protests both for and against his removal. JK Kim Dong-wook, a singer and supporter of Yoon, expressed his anger over the impeachment, labeling South Korea as politically unstable and suggesting a potential collapse of the nation. In response, the Democratic Party of Korea has called for the immediate resignation of Yoon's acting Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, emphasizing accountability among Yoon's aides. As South Korea prepares for upcoming elections, the political landscape remains charged, with various leaders positioning themselves for influence in the wake of this upheaval. The fallout from Yoon’s removal raises critical questions about the country's political future and governance stability.
