South Korean parliamentary lawyers made final arguments in President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment trial, seeking his removal over his brief imposition of martial law. They compared him to past dictators and accused him of seeking to rewrite the constitution. Yoon has defended his actions, claiming he never intended full military rule. The Constitutional Court will decide whether to uphold the impeachment, potentially leading to Yoon’s early removal from office. Yoon is facing a separate criminal trial and is currently being held in detention. The court has up to six months to deliver its ruling on his impeachment, with a new presidential election required within 60 days if he is removed from office. Former President Park Geun-hye was removed in a similar process in 2017.
