Seoul, South Korea - The fate of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol hangs in the balance as the Constitutional Court prepares to announce its decision regarding his impeachment on Friday. Yoon was impeached by the National Assembly in December, stemming from controversy surrounding a declaration of martial law.
The court's ruling will have profound consequences for South Korea's political future. If the court upholds the impeachment, Yoon will be permanently removed from office, triggering a snap presidential election. A dismissal of the impeachment, however, would see Yoon immediately resume his duties as president.
The impeachment proceedings have deeply divided the nation, with supporters of Yoon rallying against what they perceive as a politically motivated attack. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that Yoon's actions warranted impeachment and that his removal is necessary to uphold the rule of law. All eyes are on the Constitutional Court as it prepares to deliver its judgment in this landmark case.
