South Korea President Yoon Investigated for Martial Law Attempt

South Korea is facing a profound leadership crisis as President Yoon Suk Yeol is now under criminal investigation following his controversial attempt to impose martial law last week. Despite surviving an impeachment vote, Yoon's own party indicates he may soon step down and delegate his powers, a move criticized by opposition lawmakers as unconstitutional. Thousands rallied in Seoul demanding his impeachment and arrest, highlighting public discontent with his administration. The crisis has negatively affected South Korea's economy, with significant drops in the stock market and currency values. Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul emphasized the need to rebuild trust with international partners amid rising threats from North Korea. The situation has sparked concerns over military command and South Korea's democratic integrity.
