Han Duck-soo, South Korea's acting president, was impeached just weeks after taking office, following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol for declaring martial law.
The Democratic Party filed the impeachment motion against Han after he failed to appoint judges to the constitutional court, which is vital for Yoon's potential removal.
Impeaching a prime minister requires only a simple majority, allowing 192 lawmakers to vote for Han's impeachment, which led to his immediate suspension from duty.
With six justices currently sitting, only a two-thirds vote is needed to permanently remove President Yoon from office, creating a politically tense atmosphere.
