South Korean Lawmakers Submit Motion to Impeach President Yoon Over Martial Law
Briefly

South Korea’s opposition parties filed for President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment post his brief martial law attempt, calling it a constitutional violation and a grave act of rebellion.
The Democratic Party criticized Yoon's martial law as a ‘poorly-thought-out stunt’ and asserted that it constituted a grave violation of the constitution, warranting his impeachment.
In a surprise move, President Yoon imposed emergency martial law aimed at quelling dissent in the opposition-dominated parliament, but faced immediate backlash and a swift reversal.
With two-thirds parliamentary support needed, the Democratic Party and allied parties swiftly moved to impeach Yoon, who has been under intense pressure following his controversial actions.
