South Korea is in political turmoil as opposition parties push to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol following his controversial attempt to impose martial law. The National Assembly received the motion Wednesday, just hours after the emergency decree was lifted, sparking nationwide debates about democracy and executive power.
President Yoon's administration claims the martial law proposal was aimed at 'ensuring stability' amid rising protests, but critics argue it crossed constitutional boundaries. Opposition leaders called it 'a dangerous overreach,' comparing it to past authoritarian regimes.
The impeachment process requires a two-thirds majority in the 300-seat parliament. Analysts say the outcome could reshape South Korea's diplomatic and economic priorities, especially regarding relations with the DPRK and global tech partnerships.
Social media is flooded with #ImpeachYoon trends, while students and young professionals organize 'freedom cafes' to discuss civic rights. 'This isn’t just politics—it’s about our future,' said Seoul University student Park Ji-min during a live-streamed debate.
As Asian markets watch closely, experts warn of potential volatility in sectors like semiconductors and K-pop entertainment, which drive South Korea's cultural and economic influence worldwide.
