South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is under immense pressure to resign after a failed attempt to impose martial law, sparking widespread outrage.
Despite an imminent impeachment vote and calls for his resignation from both opposition leaders and some within his own party, Yoon has refused to step down.
Tensions are at a breaking point in Seoul, where thousands of protesters have gathered outside parliament demanding Yoon’s resignation. Meanwhile, his supporters have held counter-rallies, defending his controversial decisions.
If impeached, Yoon will face a trial in the Constitutional Court, which could lead to his removal from office—echoing the 2017 impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye. Additionally, investigations are underway into allegations of insurrection and abuse of power, charges that carry severe legal consequences.
The crisis began earlier this week when Yoon declared martial law, citing threats from North Korea and anti-state forces. However, the declaration was rescinded within six hours following nationwide backlash. In a televised address, Yoon apologized for the decision, pledging not to take similar measures again.
As political tensions continue to escalate, South Korea braces for what could be one of the most defining moments in its democratic history.
