South Korea's Yoon Faces Impeachment and Martial Law

News summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has faced mounting pressure and calls for impeachment following his controversial declaration of martial law, which he defends as a legal measure to protect democracy. In a recent address, Yoon characterized opposition parties as 'anti-state forces' and accused them of paralyzing government operations, claiming his martial law order was necessary to restore order. Despite an apology for the turmoil caused, he remains defiant, stating he will confront any impeachment attempts head-on. The leader of Yoon's own People Power Party (PPP), Han Dong-hoon, has called for impeachment votes, indicating waning support for Yoon within his party. Meanwhile, Yoon is under criminal investigation for alleged insurrection related to the martial law declaration, which has sparked mass protests demanding his resignation. As political chaos ensues, questions remain about the effective leadership of the government and who will manage state affairs moving forward.
