- Story Text: South Korea's Constitutional Court's decision to oust impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday (April 4) sparked a range of reactions among residents, with some expressing joy, while others said they "can't accept" the verdict.
The Court upheld parliament's impeachment motion over Yoon’s short-lived imposition of martial law last year that sparked the country's worst political crisis in decades.
Anti-Yoon protesters were seen cheering over the court’s announcement, while Yoon’s supporters were crying at a separate rally.
With Yoon's ouster, a presidential election is required to take place within 60 days, according to the country's constitution.
