President Yoon Suk Yeol faces potential ousting from government

Following a stunning move to declare martial law in South Korea, President Yoon Suk Yeol now faces the threat of being ousted from office.

The opposition-controlled parliament overturned the military order, which suspended political activity and freedom of the press.

His rivals are taking steps to impeach him. Yoon’s political fate may hinge on whether large numbers of people take to the streets to demand his removal.
