South Korea's Constitutional Court reinstated Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on Monday by overturning his impeachment, while the fate of President Yoon Suk Yeol remains uncertain. Han's impeachment stemmed from political conflicts following Yoon's controversial martial law imposition, which was seen as a critical moment sparking a political crisis. Despite reinstatement, analysts believe the ruling won't significantly impact the court's upcoming decision on Yoon. Han emphasized unity and urgent matters, particularly in light of the volatile global trade landscape, highlighting the need for cooperation in a divided political environment.
Following his reinstatement, Han told reporters he would focus on the "most urgent matters," including a fast-changing global trade environment, in an apparent reference to the Trump administration's aggressive trade policies.
The unprecedented, successive impeachments that suspended the country's top two officials intensified a domestic division and deepened worries about the country's diplomatic and economic activities.
