00:00
South Korea's opposition-led parliament voted on Saturday to impeach President Yun
00:08
Suk-yol, suspending him from official duties over his controversial attempt last week to
00:13
impose martial law.
00:15
Under the constitution, Prime Minister Han Deok-su, appointed by Yun, will serve as acting
00:21
president.
00:22
Yun becomes the second consecutive conservative leader to face impeachment, following Park
00:27
Gyun-hee's removal from office in 2017.
00:31
The motion passed with 204 votes in favor, 85 against, three abstentions, and eight invalid
00:37
ballots.
00:38
It cleared the two-thirds majority required in the 300-member National Assembly, with
00:43
some members of Yun's People Power Party joining the opposition.
00:47
Despite his suspension, Yun remains in office pending a decision by the constitutional court,
00:52
which has six months to determine whether to remove him.
00:56
If the court upholds the impeachment, a snap presidential election will be called.
01:01
The crisis stems from Yun's decision on Dec. 3 to grant the military sweeping emergency
01:06
powers, citing the need to confront anti-state forces and overcome political obstruction.
01:12
His announcement shocked the nation, sparking widespread criticism.
01:17
Although Yun apologized publicly, he defended his actions and resisted calls to step down
01:22
before the impeachment vote.
