Crisis in South Korea as President Yoon Faces Impeachment. The Constitutional Court begins impeachment proceedings against President Yoon Suk Yeol, accused of declaring martial law and creating political turmoil. Lawmakers voted to impeach Yoon last Saturday after nationwide protests demanded his resignation. The Constitutional Court has up to six months to decide whether to remove Yoon or reinstate him, as public pressure mounts. Yoon’s People Power Party (PPP) faces internal chaos, with its leader, Han Dong-hoon, resigning amid criticism from pro-Yoon factions. With only six justices currently seated, the court has announced it can proceed with Yoon's trial, scheduling a preliminary hearing for 27 December. Demonstrators vow to maintain pressure for Yoon’s removal while the court deliberates. If Yoon's impeachment is upheld, South Korea must hold new presidential elections within 60 days. For now, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo acts as interim leader. Yoon has avoided a prosecutor's summons and could face arrest if he refuses further questioning this week. Following the impeachment vote, all Supreme Council members of the PPP announced their resignation, effectively dissolving party leadership. Outgoing PPP leader Han Dong-hoon defended his decision to support impeachment, stating, "While painful, I have no regrets.”
