Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Democratic Party of South Korea is set to vote on Friday to impeach Han Duck-soo, accusing him of complicity in former President Yoon Suk-yeol's attempted insurrection and failing to appoint justices needed for his impeachment trial. The move escalates political uncertainty amid a declining won and is set against the backdrop of Yoon's martial law declaration.
