South Korea's main liberal opposition party has announced its intention to seek the impeachment of acting leader Han Duck-soo. This move comes amidst the political turmoil that ensued after the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who briefly declared martial law.

The opposition Democratic Party, holding a majority in parliament, is pushing for independent investigators to look into Yoon's martial law declaration and allegations against his wife. Han has been given a deadline to approve bills appointing these investigators.
