Seoul, AP: The situation in South Korea is slipping out of President Yoon Suk Yeol's control. After the opposition brought an impeachment motion, the ruling party has started demanding the suspension of Yoon's constitutional powers.


On Tuesday, Yoon declared martial law in the country, but it was nullified within six hours due to strong opposition and a parliamentary resolution against him.

A two-thirds majority is needed to pass the impeachment proposal.

Parliament will vote on the opposition's impeachment proposal on Saturday. The proposal calls Yoon's martial law unconstitutional and an illegal rebellion. However, to pass this proposal, opposition parties will need the support of at least eight lawmakers from Yoon's People Power Party. Only them can the proposal achieve a two-thirds majority in the member parliament.

Yoon is being seen as a threat to democracy by the public.

The public no longer seems willing to support Yoon. People are protesting against him, viewing him as a major threat to democracy. Even a leader from Yoon's own party, Han Dong-hoon, has called for the suspension powers, a demand that several other leaders have supported. These leaders have stated that suspending Yoon's powers is necessary to save South Korea.
