In a move that’s straight out of a K-drama political thriller, South Korea’s National Assembly voted Tuesday to launch a high-stakes investigation into President Yoon Suk-yeol over treason charges linked to his alleged \"unconstitutional\" martial law declaration. 🌪️
The bill, passed with 210 votes in favor, 63 against, and 14 abstentions, paves the way for a special prosecutor to dig into what critics call a \"shocking abuse of power.\" The drama unfolded in the 300-member unicameral parliament, where tensions have been simmering for weeks.
While the president’s supporters claim the move is politically motivated, opponents argue it’s a necessary step to uphold democracy. 📜 The probe could reshape South Korea’s political landscape, with global markets and allies closely watching. Stay tuned—this saga is just getting started.
