What is next for South Korea after Yoon's removal? DW 04/04/2025
Briefly

The South Korean Constitutional Court unanimously confirmed the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol after a political crisis marked by his declaration of martial law. The decision sparked celebrations among anti-Yoon demonstrators, while supporters expressed despair. Following the court's decision, the nation prepares for elections amid economic challenges and security threats from North Korea. Political analyst Kim Sang-woo noted the stability the ruling brings and highlighted Lee Jae-myung's candidacy as the Democratic Party's favorite, despite facing legal hurdles. The upcoming election will shape the future political landscape in South Korea.
The decision was to be expected and for the purposes of the stability this is the best outcome because declaring martial law back in December was an insane act.
Lee is a populist and a clever man, but he is facing some serious legal problems. I believe there are five lawsuits still ongoing against him.
