The South Korean Constitutional Court confirmed the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, resulting in his removal from office. This decision came 111 days after he briefly declared martial law and triggered a political crisis. The announcement followed a unanimous eight-to-zero vote by the judges and was met with celebratory reactions among anti-Yoon demonstrators in central Seoul. On the other hand, supporters of the ousted president expressed their outrage at the decision. The ruling paves the way for South Korea to hold elections for a new president and government. The country is currently facing challenges including economic difficulties caused by US tariffs and security threats posed by North Korea. Experts predict that the elections will be fierce and contentious, but there is a sense of relief that the country has passed a critical point in its political crisis.
