South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol Faces Impeachment Amid Protests

News summary

South Korea is currently experiencing its worst political crisis in decades, centered around President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment trial and allegations of insurrection linked to his declaration of martial law. Following his arrest by the Corruption Investigation Office, the political landscape has become increasingly unstable, marked by violent protests from Yoon's supporters after a court extended his detention. The situation raises significant questions about executive power and the resilience of the nation's democratic institutions as the Constitutional Court deliberates Yoon's potential removal from office. Despite his impeachment proceedings, Yoon retains his position as president, a rare circumstance in South Korean politics. The ongoing turmoil is also impacting the economy, with currency values and consumer confidence plummeting. As the nation grapples with these challenges, the unfolding events have drawn both national and international attention.
