Impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Se-kyul

The impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Se-kyul, initiated by the National Assembly for alleged insurrection, has raised significant political tension in the country. Following his declaration of martial law, which lasted only six hours, the Constitutional Court has begun hearings on the legality of his impeachment. Despite a warrant for his arrest not being executed, the ongoing legal proceedings could result in serious consequences for Yoon, including potential imprisonment. If the court confirms his impeachment, Yoon would lose his presidential protections and may face arrest, which could alter the political landscape significantly, as seen in previous similar cases.
