South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol Faces Impeachment Verdict After Final Hearing

South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing imminent impeachment as the Constitutional Court concludes its hearings on his controversial martial law declaration. Yoon's brief suspension of civilian authority has led to significant political turmoil, resulting in his ousting by parliament in December. During the final hearing, Yoon's defense team cited a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to argue against his removal, while prosecutors voiced strong emotional opposition based on the implications of martial law for military personnel. The court is expected to announce its verdict in the coming weeks, with the potential for a new presidential election if Yoon's impeachment is upheld. Legal experts are focused on whether Yoon's actions met constitutional requirements for martial law and his alleged attempts to undermine constitutional institutions. Outside the courtroom, supporters rallied for Yoon, echoing themes of election interference similar to those seen in U.S. politics.
