South Korea’s parliament has voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial attempt to impose martial law earlier this month. The decision triggered a constitutional crisis, with violent clashes between soldiers and protesters erupting in the capital, Seoul. The emergency decree, which faced significant backlash, was quickly overturned by parliament after just six hours. Although President Yoon later issued a public apology and survived an initial impeachment vote — boycotted by his People Power Party (PPP) — the opposition pushed for a second vote. This time, the motion required a two-thirds majority, with at least 200 MPs backing it to succeed. This unprecedented impeachment underscores deep political divides and the country's struggle to balance executive authority with democratic governance. Further developments are expected. More details will be reported in the coming hours on Hobenews.com.
