Situation with impeachment of South Korean President
On December 3, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in the country. It was in effect for about six hours, after which the President apologized for this decision. But it didn't end there.
The other day, the police conducted searches in the office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol. They were carried out as part of an investigation initiated by local law enforcement officers.
As reported earlier, the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was announced on the second attempt. On December 7, the South Korean parliament failed to vote on President Yun Seok Yeol's impeachment. But on December 13, the South Korean opposition demanded a new vote.
