South Korea's acting leader has assured the international community that the country is returning to stability following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol by the liberal opposition-controlled parliament. The impeachment was a result of Yoon's brief imposition of martial law on December 3, leading to the suspension of his presidential powers pending a decision by the Constitutional Court.
If the court upholds the impeachment, a national election will be held within two months to select Yoon's successor. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, now serving as acting leader, has been working to restore confidence with global partners and stabilize markets amidst the political turmoil.
