The Democratic Party (DP) is making a strategic mistake. Its decision to impeach Acting President Choi Sang-mok isn\u2019t just a political gamble \u2014 it\u2019s a desperate move fueled by growing anxiety over President Yoon Suk-yeol\u2019s impeachment trial and party leader Lee Jae-myung\u2019s upcoming appeal ruling.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DP\u2019s aggressive push reflects a party that feels politically exposed, and if Choi\u2019s impeachment backfires, it could cost them voter trust and the next election.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choi\u2019s removal would mark the third impeachment of a sitting leader in five months \u2014 a staggering level of political escalation. After already forcing out <\/span>Yoon<\/span><\/a> and Prime Minister <\/span>Han Duck-soo<\/span><\/a>, the DP\u2019s effort to remove Choi looks less like a principled defense of constitutional order and more like strategic overreach.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ruling People Power Party (PPP) will seize on this, and swing voters might respond by shifting back toward the conservatives. If voters interpret this as parliamentary overreach or political opportunism, the DP\u2019s fragile polling lead could evaporate quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

POLITICAL OVERREACH AND MISCALCULATION<\/b><\/p>\n

The DP\u2019s decision to impeach Choi follows a clear pattern. After successfully impeaching Yoon for his martial law declaration with the help of other minor parties and some PPP lawmakers, the DP used its parliamentary majority to remove Prime Minister Han weeks later for refusing to appoint DP-backed Constitutional Court nominees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, they are going after Choi \u2014 the acting president, deputy prime minister and finance minister \u2014 for <\/span>refusing to appoint Ma Eun-hyuk<\/span><\/a> to the court. While the DP\u2019s argument is technically rooted in constitutional procedure, the political context makes it look suspiciously like overreach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voters are not blind to this pattern. Even DP-friendly voters might start asking whether the party is trying to consolidate power through parliamentary force rather than electoral legitimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PPP has already laid the groundwork to weaponize this narrative. It will likely frame the latest impeachment spree as an attempt to seize total control of the executive branch. If Choi is impeached, the opposition will claim that the DP is attempting to install a puppet leader \u2014 a powerful message that could resonate with conservative and swing voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DP\u2019s fragile lead in the polls shows how vulnerable it is. The latest <\/span>Gallup Korea poll<\/span><\/a> puts the DP at 40% and the PPP at 36% \u2014 a slim four-point margin that could disappear overnight if swing voters see the DP\u2019s impeachment push as politically excessive.<\/span><\/p>\n

The risk is that the DP, in its effort to protect itself from political vulnerability, is opening itself up to a broader political backlash. If voters see the DP as destabilizing the government, the PPP could reclaim the mantle of stability and ride that message into the next election.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE DP\u2019S MOTIVATION AND ANXIETY<\/b><\/p>\n

The DP\u2019s impeachment push against Choi isn\u2019t just a political power play; it\u2019s a response to growing pressure on multiple fronts. The delayed ruling on Yoon\u2019s impeachment and party leader Lee Jae-myung\u2019s upcoming appeal have created political uncertainty, and the DP\u2019s impeachment push reflects that anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoon\u2019s impeachment trial has dragged on longer than expected, potentially raising concerns within the DP that the Constitutional Court might reinstate him. That would be a political disaster for the DP, as it would make the party\u2019s previous impeachment moves look illegitimate and hand a political victory to the PPP.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Jae-myung\u2019s situation is even more precarious. Lee was <\/span>convicted<\/span><\/a> of violating election laws in November, but he appealed the ruling to the Seoul High Court. The appeals court is set to rule on March 26 \u2014 just two days after the Constitutional Court will rule on Han\u2019s impeachment.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the court upholds Lee\u2019s conviction, the DP would face a nightmare scenario. Lee remains the party\u2019s dominant figure, but a legally damaged candidate would be a massive liability in a snap election. If voters see the DP trying to push a convicted politician into the presidency, it could erode the party\u2019s credibility with swing voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

This explains the DP\u2019s <\/span>aggressive tone<\/span><\/a> toward the court in recent days. Leading DP lawmakers have accused the Constitutional Court of dragging its feet and operating under political influence. DP floor leader Park Chan-dae slammed the court for its slower-than-expected ruling, saying that it was moving at a \u201csnail\u2019s pace\u201d and that justices should explain themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeon Hyun-hee, a member of the party\u2019s supreme council, said that \u201cdelayed justice is not justice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the language of a party acting from a position of strength. It\u2019s the language of a party that feels politically threatened. The DP\u2019s impeachment push against Choi is less about constitutional order and more about preemptive damage control.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Lee\u2019s appeal fails or Han is reinstated, the DP wants to ensure that they have firm control over the political narrative. But in trying to control the outcome, the DP might be setting itself up for failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

POLITICAL FALLOUT AND VOTER BACKLASH<\/b><\/p>\n

If Choi is removed, the political fallout could be immediate and severe. The DP\u2019s impeachment push would almost certainly destabilize the government. Markets would react negatively to the removal of a key figure in South Korea\u2019s economic leadership, especially as Choi has played a central role in managing trade relations with the <\/span>U.S.<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>China<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Seoul High Court upholds Lee\u2019s conviction on March 26 \u2014 most likely before the Constitutional Court issues its ruling on Yoon\u2019s impeachment but after it rules on Han\u2019s \u2014 the DP could be left facing an exonerated prime minister while having to defend a convicted presidential candidate at the same time. That would be a politically toxic combination.<\/span><\/p>\n

The broader political picture would shift rapidly. The PPP could frame itself as the party of stability and responsible governance, while the DP would be forced to explain why its impeachment strategy led to both political and economic instability.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DP\u2019s impeachment push against Choi isn\u2019t a strategic masterstroke; it\u2019s a defensive, anxious move driven by fear of political weakness. And if that fear translates into political instability, the voters will deliver their own verdict.<\/span><\/p>\n

HIGH STAKES GAMBLE<\/b><\/p>\n

The DP\u2019s impeachment strategy reflects political desperation, not strategic strength. Faced with the possibility that Yoon and Han\u2019s impeachment could be overturned while Lee\u2019s conviction could hold, the DP is trying to seize control of the executive branch through parliamentary muscle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the majority of voters still supporting Yoon\u2019s impeachment and the DP taking over the reins, this kind of overreach rarely plays well with voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the impeachment effort destabilizes the government or triggers market instability, the DP will face immediate political consequences. Swing voters could turn toward the PPP as the more stable option. If Lee\u2019s conviction holds, the DP\u2019s leadership crisis will deepen \u2014 and the political fallout could be catastrophic.<\/span><\/p>\n
