00:00South Korea's constitutional court has overturned the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Deok-su,
00:07reinstating him as acting president.
00:10Han stepped into the role after President Hyun Suk-yol was impeached by the National
00:14Assembly over his imposition of martial law, but was impeached himself not long after.
00:20Han was accused of abetting Hyun's martial law declaration and obstructing efforts to
00:24open independent investigations against him.
00:28But the court ruled that his alleged actions weren't against the law.
00:32The unprecedented successive impeachments that suspended the country's top two officials
00:37have intensified domestic divisions and deepened worries about the country's diplomatic and
00:41economic activities.
