Political Earthquake Rocks Seoul as Allies Turn on President
In a dramatic twist, Han Dong-hoon, leader of South Korea’s ruling People Power Party, has demanded the immediate suspension of President Yoon Suk-yeol’s constitutional powers. The bombshell move comes days after Yoon declared martial law, sparking nationwide protests and a political free-for-all. 🇰🇷💥
At an emergency party meeting Friday, Han reversed his earlier stance against impeachment, claiming Yoon allegedly ordered intelligence agencies to arrest opposition politicians during the martial law rollout. \"If Yoon remains in power, we risk repeating extreme actions that endanger our nation,\" Han declared.
From Allies to Adversaries
The political drama intensified as tens of thousands flooded Seoul’s streets Thursday night, chanting for Yoon’s resignation. A Realmeter poll showed 73.6% of South Koreans now support impeachment – a stunning rebuke for the conservative president.
With opposition parties pushing for a Saturday impeachment vote and police investigating Yoon over insurrection claims, the Constitutional Court could soon decide his fate. If impeached, South Korea would face snap elections within 60 days.
As parliament prepares for a historic showdown, one thing’s clear: This K-drama-worthy political crisis is rewriting the rules of Korean democracy. 📜✨
