South Korea's parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after his refusal to resign over a failed martial law attempt. This marks the second impeachment of a South Korean leader in less than a decade and suspends Yoon's powers pending a Constitutional Court decision.
The impeachment came after Yoon declared martial law on December 3, a move that backfired as lawmakers and the public called for his removal. Despite surviving an initial impeachment attempt, Yoon's ruling party turned against him, leading to his suspension.
