South Korea’s National Assembly impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on December 14, 2024, following his controversial attempt to impose martial law. "Today’s impeachment is the great victory of the people," stated opposition leader Park Chan-dae. The impeachment motion passed with 204 lawmakers in favor, suspending Yoon from office. The decision follows protests sparked by Yoon's December 3 decree, which saw thousands gather in Seoul. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will serve as acting president until the Constitutional Court issues a ruling on Yoon's future within 180 days.
