Lawmakers Introduce Second Impeachment Motion Against South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol

HeadlineDec 13, 2024

In South Korea, a second motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol was submitted to the parliament today over Yoon’s declaration of martial law on December 3. Yoon was forced to reverse the order just six hours later amid widespread outrage and protest. An earlier impeachment motion failed to remove Yoon after much of his ruling People Power Party boycotted the vote. Street protests demanding Yoon’s removal are continuing.
