Impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol

• The Constitutional Court of South Korea will rule on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yol on April 4.

• On December 14, 2024, Yoon was impeached by the National Assembly (South Korea's unicameral national legislature).

• The charge against him was declaring martial law without a valid reason.
