- Story Text: South Korea's benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) opened down about 1% on Friday (April 4), ahead of an impeachment ruling for president Yoon Suk Yeol.
South Korea's Constitutional Court rules on Friday whether to remove or reinstate Yoon over his short-lived martial law declaration that sparked a crisis in a country seen as a democratic success story.
Yoon's fate has been hanging in the balance after the court defied expectations of a swift decision on whether to oust him for violating his constitutional duty or reinstate him, instead deliberating for more than five weeks in tight secrecy.
