The failure of South Korea's opposition to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after his controversial martial law declaration leaves the nation in heightened political turmoil.
More than 70 percent of South Koreans wanted President Yoon's impeachment, but a last-minute boycott by his party prevented the motion from passing.
Protests erupted after Yoon's attempt at martial law, but the boycotting of the vote by lawmakers means public anger may now extend to the People Power Party.
Political science expert Ahn Byong-jin foresees intensifying public protest, indicating that the current political upheaval in South Korea is far from over.
