President Yoon Suk Yeol will deliver a closing statement in a Constitutional Court trial regarding his impeachment linked to his martial law declaration in December. The outcome of this trial, expected by mid-March, could result in his removal from office, as it follows parliamentary impeachment proceedings. If upheld, South Korea will need to hold a presidential election within 60 days. Additionally, Yoon faces a criminal trial over related insurrection charges, marking a significant moment in South Korean politics as he is the first sitting president undergoing such legal scrutiny.
If the Constitutional Court upholds the parliament's decision to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, he will be removed from office within three years of his term.
Impecheon proceedings are crucial for determining South Korea's political future, as a verdict is anticipated in mid-March, influencing potential presidential elections.
