🇰🇷 South Korea's National Assembly dropped a political bombshell Tuesday, passing a resolution demanding the immediate arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol and seven officials over last week's controversial martial law declaration. The move has sent shockwaves through Seoul's political scene, sparking comparisons to K-drama plot twists 🎬.
While the resolution cleared all legislative hurdles—proposal, committee review, and plenary vote—it remains symbolic without legal teeth. Analysts say the dramatic move reflects growing opposition to Yoon's administration, which faces mounting criticism over civil liberties concerns.
💡 Why it matters: This historic confrontation between executive and legislative branches comes as South Korea navigates complex domestic challenges. Though non-binding, the resolution could intensify pressure on Yoon's government ahead of key economic decisions affecting Asian markets.
