☆ South Korean President Yoon faces impeachment: How did we get here?
  + stars: | 2024-12-05 | by ( Dylan Butts | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing impeachment by parliament after a series of shocking moves that saw him briefly declare martial law in the country for the first time in nearly 50 years. South Korea's main opposition party, the Democratic Party, along with others, submitted the articles of impeachment on Wednesday, responding to what the DPK leader called an "unconstitutional and illegal declaration of martial law." If Yoon's impeachment is passed by parliament it moves to South Korea's Constitutional Court, which must then rule on whether to confirm or reject the impeachment. The leader of Yoon's ruling People Power Party said Thursday that he plans to unite his party to block the motion to impeach. In emails sent to NBC News, Yoon's office has maintained that his call for martial law was constitutional.

A balloon believed to have been sent by North Korea, carrying various objects including what appeared to be trash and excrement, is seen over a rice field at Cheorwon, South Korea, May 29, 2024. "We sent facts and truth, love and medicine, and dollar bills, but [the North] sent filth," head of Fighters for Free North Korea, Park Sang-hak, said in a statement. In response to the North's waste balloons, South Korea suspended the inter-Korean military pact signed in 2018, which was aimed at easing animosities. The suspension is effective until "mutual trust between the South and the North is restored," said South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. For years, groups like the Free North Korea Movement have been deploying balloons carrying items like medicine, propaganda leaflets and South Korean news and media into the North.

Participants wave a rainbow flag as they march on a street during the Korea Queer Culture Festival 2022 in central Seoul, South Korea, July 16, 2022. Under the country's military criminal act, members of the armed forces face up to two years in prison for same-sex relationships. The law has been referred to the court and upheld by it four times since 2002. In Thursday's five-to-four ruling, the court said allowing same-sex relations could undermine discipline within the military and harm its combat capabilities. South Korea has one of the world's largest active armies, with all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 28 required to serve between 18 and 21 months.
