South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces impeachment after his attempt to impose martial law on December 3, 2024. Citing North Korea, Yoon's decision was viewed as a response to domestic issues, triggering protests and an opposition push for impeachment. MPs blocked the move in the National Assembly, leading Yoon to reverse his decision. Nationwide rallies, including daily protests in Busan and candlelight vigils in Gwangju, have called for Yoon’s resignation. The country's main labor union has also launched an indefinite strike. MPs will vote on impeachment proceedings in the coming days, potentially bringing Yoon to trial.
