South Korean President Yoon Survives Impeachment Vote

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol narrowly avoided impeachment following his controversial brief declaration of martial law, which sparked widespread protests. The impeachment vote was rendered invalid due to a boycott by the ruling People Power Party (PPP), which prevented the necessary quorum. PPP leader Han Dong-hoon indicated that Yoon would eventually step down, labeling the martial law declaration a serious violation of the law, although Yoon himself has not yet confirmed his resignation. Amidst significant public outcry, with protests attracting up to a million demonstrators, opposition parties are poised to propose another impeachment attempt. The situation has raised concerns about South Korea's democratic stability, as both domestic and international observers closely monitor the unfolding political crisis. Yoon's actions have not only caused unrest but have also drawn critical attention from neighboring countries like North Korea, Russia, and China.
