Yoon Faces Impeachment Amid Martial Law Backlash

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faced a political crisis after briefly imposing martial law, sparking widespread protests and a motion for impeachment. Despite his apology and promise not to attempt martial law again, Yoon's actions led to significant backlash, with his own People Power Party (PPP) leader, Han Dong-hoon, declaring him unfit for office. The impeachment vote requires a two-thirds majority, needing at least eight votes from the PPP, which controls 108 seats in the 300-member National Assembly. Yoon's move to declare martial law, citing threats from North Korea, was quickly overturned by a unanimous parliamentary vote, and his apology has been dismissed by critics as insufficient. Tens of thousands of protesters have gathered, demanding Yoon's resignation, as the political turmoil threatens South Korea's democratic stability. The impeachment motion is scheduled for a vote, with the outcome uncertain but increasingly leaning towards Yoon's potential removal from office.
