Summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces imminent impeachment after declaring and abruptly reversing martial law earlier this week.

The move, intended to arrest political opponents—including his own party leader Han Dong-hoon—sparked outrage, with accusations of anti-democratic actions.

Opposition MPs, backed by growing public protests and ruling party defections, are expected to pass the impeachment motion on Saturday.

Yoon’s approval has plummeted to 13%, and his actions have drawn criticism for destabilizing democracy.

Street protests, military refusals to execute orders, and widespread calls for his resignation have intensified the crisis.
