  • South Korea's political landscape has heated up as judges begin deliberations on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, with ruling and opposition parties vying for power ahead of a potential general election.

The article discusses the potential implications of an impeachment motion against South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, initiated by the opposition Democratic Party. This move comes in response to allegations of corruption and abuse of power, particularly concerning Yoon's handling of a military report and his perceived interference in investigations involving his family. If the impeachment is successful, it would lead to a significant political upheaval in South Korea, potentially destabilizing the government at a time when the country faces both domestic and international challenges. The process would require a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly to pass, after which the Constitutional Court would have 180 days to decide on the validity of the impeachment. During this period, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo would assume presidential duties. The article highlights the political tension, the potential for economic instability, and the impact on South Korea's foreign relations, especially with the United States and North Korea, as key concerns if Yoon were to be removed from office.
