South Korea’s National Assembly has kicked its high-stakes impeachment vote into overdrive, shifting the timeline by an hour in a move that’s got everyone talking. Lawmakers are now set to cast secret ballots at 4 p.m. local time Saturday (0700 GMT) to decide the fate of President Yoon Suk-yeol. 🗳️
The Democratic Party and five smaller opposition parties dropped the second impeachment motion on Thursday, accusing Yoon of insurrection linked to his emergency martial law declaration in early December—a move lawmakers swiftly revoked. 🔄
Here’s the tea: Under the constitution, the motion needs a two-thirds majority (200 votes) to pass. With Yoon’s ruling party holding 108 seats, the opposition needs at least 8 crossover votes to make history. 🤝 Will they pull it off? The tension is *chef’s kiss*.
This isn’t just political chess—it’s a litmus test for public trust. Analysts say the outcome could reshape South Korea’s policy landscape, from economic reforms to global alliances. 🌏
