South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing a major setback after being impeached by the country’s parliament. The impeachment vote was triggered by Yoon’s controversial decision to impose martial law on December 3. The parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of impeachment, with 204 lawmakers supporting the motion and 85 opposing it. Yoon will now be suspended from his duties while the constitutional court reviews the impeachment. In a statement, Yoon vowed to continue working for the country, saying he would “never give up.” However, his fate hangs in the balance, and it’s unclear whether he’ll be able to return to office. The impeachment vote has been met with celebration from thousands of people on the streets of Seoul. Yoon’s decision to impose martial law sparked widespread protests and calls for his resignation.
