On December 27, South Korea's National Assembly voted 192-0 to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo, intensifying the political crisis stemming from President Yoon Suk Yeol's recent impeachment. Lawmakers from the governing People Power Party boycotted the vote, while protests erupted over Yoon's martial law declaration earlier this month. Han's impeachment follows his refusal to appoint justices to the Constitutional Court, which is now tasked with reviewing both impeachment cases. Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok will assume presidential duties amidst concerns regarding the political stability and future governance in South Korea.
