Political Turmoil in South Korea

The recent impeachment of acting Prime Minister Han Duk-su has exacerbated the ongoing political chaos in South Korea, following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yul, which was triggered by his declaration of martial law. The motion to impeach Han passed overwhelmingly without opposition, highlighting the division within the parliament, where the ruling party boycotted the vote. The political strife reflects deeper issues, including allegations of corruption against both the ruling and opposition parties, contributing to a dysfunctional political environment. As a result, South Korea's national currency has significantly devalued, and the country faces a period of uncertainty while awaiting a ruling from the constitutional court regarding Yoon’s status in office.
