South Korea's president faces second impeachment vote over martial law order
Saturday, 14 December 2024 South Korea's parliament is set to vote again on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after his short-lived attempt to declare martial law earlier this month.
If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office and if he is removed, an election to replace him must be held within 60 days.
Protests in South Korea escalated into violent clashes outside the Seoul court after the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was extended for up to 20 days. Thousands gathered to demand his release, with nearly 60 protesters arrested by security forces. The protests turned chaotic, with buildings damaged and windows smashed as supporters stormed the area. This unrest highlights the intensity of the political crisis following Yoon’s declaration of martial law, which sparked a nationwide controversy. Watch the full video for exclusive footage of the protests and violent confrontations.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on January 15, 2025, after a failed martial law attempt. This historic event marks the first time a sitting president in South Korea has faced arrest. The arrest follows a tense standoff with investigators who raided the presidential residence. Yoon's attempted power grab, including directing soldiers to storm Parliament, led to charges of insurrection. Despite a previous failed arrest attempt on January 3, Yoon voluntarily agreed to appear before investigators before being detained. His arrest escalates South Korea's political crisis and tensions with his supporters.
