Ending a tumultuous presidency, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol has been ousted by the Constitutional Court on Friday. The president came under fire over the 2024 martial law crisis. Following Yoon's ouster, South Korea's constitution mandates that a presidential election be held within 60 days. Until a new president is inaugurated, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will serve as acting president. The decision marks the culmination of months of political upheaval, which have hindered the country’s ability to effectively engage with the newly established administration of U.S. President Donald Trump amid concerns over a slowing economy. The ruling sparked emotional reactions across the political spectrum. Anti-Yoon protesters celebrated the announcement with tears of joy and embraces, while the atmosphere in the pro-Yoon camp was somber—some supporters were seen crying, and many appeared visibly shaken by the outcome.
