South Koreans rejoice after President Yoon impeachment

South Koreans burst into cheers on Dec. 14, 2024 after their country's parliament voted successfully to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol following his short-lived attempt to impose martial law last week. A large crowd of anti-Yoon protesters gathered outside the National Assembly in Seoul as they eagerly awaited the results of the second attempt to impeach Yoon, after the first vote was boycotted by his conservative People Power Party (PPP). The motion was carried after some members of Yoon's PPP joined the opposition parties, which control 192 seats in the 300-member national assembly, clearing the two-thirds threshold needed for impeachment. Although suspended, Yoon remains in office. The Constitutional Court will decide whether to remove him sometime in the next six months.
