- South Korea is engulfed in political turmoil after President Yoon Suk Yeol’s controversial attempt to impose martial law, which was swiftly overturned following intense public and political backlash, fueling calls for his resignation.
- Six opposition parties have introduced an impeachment bill against President Yoon, while the main opposition Democratic Party has initiated plans to formally charge him, along with the defense and interior ministers, with treason. Meanwhile, Yoon’s chief of staff and several high-ranking officials have tendered their resignations.
