South Korea’s ruling party leader Han Dong-hoon made headlines Thursday by pledging to block an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk-yeol, calling the opposition-led push “unprepared” and risky for the nation. The political showdown comes amid heated debates over Yoon’s controversial (and quickly reversed) martial law declaration earlier this week.
At a People Power Party meeting, Han argued that passing the impeachment motion would harm citizens and supporters, stating: “We must prevent political chaos from destabilizing our democracy.” The National Assembly is set to vote on the motion Saturday – a decision that could reshape S. Korea’s political landscape.
While criticizing Yoon’s handling of the martial law order as “unconstitutional,” Han also accused the main opposition Democratic Party of “tyranny,” claiming they’re exploiting the crisis. Tensions flared further after Han revealed Yoon blamed the opposition for forcing his hand during their private meeting – a stance Han called “hard to sympathize with.”
The drama began when Yoon declared emergency measures Tuesday, only to repeal them hours later after parliamentary backlash. Opposition parties filed the impeachment motion Wednesday, setting up a weekend vote that’s got the whole country glued to the news.
