South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol survived an impeachment motion in parliament after his attempt to impose martial law was boycotted by members of his party, resulting in a vote that fell short of the required 200 votes. The main opposition party has stated that they will revive the impeachment motion if necessary. Yoon had given the military emergency powers to eliminate perceived threats and political opposition before rescinding the order. Despite apologizing to the nation, Yoon refused to resign ahead of the vote, leading to frustration and disappointment among lawmakers and citizens alike. The speaker of the National Assembly expressed regret over the lack of a formal vote and highlighted the significance of the decision being made, stating that the world was watching. The situation remains tense and uncertain as the political landscape continues to be volatile.
