South Korea's political drama intensifies as acting President Choi Sang-mok faces a police investigation over allegations tied to an attempted insurrection. The probe, linked to impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial martial law declaration in December, has sent shockwaves through the country's leadership.
What’s the Scoop?
Choi, who also serves as economy minister, became acting president after Yoon and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo were impeached. Authorities allege he backed Yoon's short-lived martial law order during a December 3 cabinet meeting—a move later overturned by lawmakers. Police are now investigating whether this decision qualifies as rebellion.
Why It Matters
This marks the first time in South Korea's history that a sitting acting president has been booked for criminal charges. Meanwhile, impeached PM Han Duck-soo faces a second police interrogation, deepening the constitutional crisis as the court races to resolve Yoon’s impeachment within 180 days.
What’s Next?
The Constitutional Court needs six of nine judges to uphold Yoon’s impeachment—a decision that could redefine South Korea’s political landscape. With three court seats still vacant, the stalemate adds fuel to the fire. Stay tuned as this historic showdown unfolds!
