🇰🇷 South Korea's political rollercoaster hit another twist this weekend as opposition leaders opted not to pursue impeachment against acting President Han Duck-soo—for now. The decision comes just days after President Yoon Suk-yeol was suspended following a fiery impeachment vote over his controversial attempt to impose martial law. 🚨
Lee Jae-myung, head of the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), confirmed the move in a Sunday press conference, saying his party urged Han to prioritize neutral governance during their phone call. 'The country needs stability, not more chaos,' Lee told reporters, hinting at the delicate balancing act ahead.
The drama unfolded after lawmakers voted Saturday to impeach Yoon, who faced backlash for his botched security policies. With Han stepping in as caretaker leader, all eyes are on whether cross-party tensions will cool—or if this is just the calm before another storm. ⚖️
