South Korea’s main opposition is considering a move to impeach the country’s acting President Han Duck-soo.

The opposition Democratic Party (DP) will wait until later this week to decide whether to submit a bill to impeach Han, a party lawmaker said on Tuesday, hours after party spokesperson Yoon Jong-kun said the bill would be submitted today.
