Despite garnering over 1 million signatures, the move to impeach Yoon Suk-yeol faces significant challenges
An online petition demanding the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has garnered over 1.17 million signatures, sparking heated speculation about his removal from office. However, Korea Pro’s analysis of legal precedents and the National Assembly Act reveals that impeachment remains highly unlikely in the near future.
The main opposition Democratic Party (DP) quickly seized upon the petition’s popularity, vowing to bring the issue to actual parliamentary discussion and setting a goal of reaching 10 million petitioners.
