South Korea's Constitutional Court unanimously removed impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol, ending political turmoil that stemmed from his declaration of martial law and subsequent impeachment. His actions triggered protests and highlighted deep divides in the nation's politics. Although external challenges loom, including North Korea's cooperation with Russia and global trade issues, the ruling restores a sense of direction for the country. Yoon resigns, making way for new elections within 60 days, a process viewed as a victory for democracy, echoing past struggles against military rule.
The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Friday finally gave South Korea a sense of direction that it has desperately needed, after months of political limbo.
This is a victory for South Korean democracy, said Sung Deuk Hahm, dean of the Graduate School of Political Studies, highlighting past sacrifices against military rule.
