South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's future is uncertain due to an unresolved impeachment vote.
The ruling party, the People Power Party (PPP), boycotted the vote, giving the opposition a chance to impeach Yoon with just eight votes from the PPP.
Initially, only one ruling party member participated in the vote and supported the impeachment motion. The situation escalated when two more ruling party lawmakers appeared, leading to a standoff with the opposition. One of these lawmakers later confirmed voting against the impeachment.
This political turmoil follows Yoon's controversial declaration of martial law, which he rescinded after six hours due to a vote by lawmakers.
The ongoing developments are being closely monitored as they could impact market stability and investor confidence in South Korea.
