Political Instability and Leadership Crisis

The recent political crisis in South Korea centers around President Yoon's failed attempt to impose martial law, which has culminated in his impeachment. This drastic measure included deploying troops to the National Assembly to prevent lawmakers from voting against him, reflecting an acute phase of political turmoil. Following the failed decree, South Korea entered a period of political vacuum where the control of the government was uncertain, leading to concerns over social stability and governance. Amidst this backdrop, the implications of heavily polarized political factions, deeply rooted in Cold War dynamics, continue to challenge the democratic process in the country.
