The world has been closely watching now-impeached President Yun Suk-Yeol since he declared martial law on December 3, 2024. As of 7:24PM on December 14,2024, Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo is the interim leader of South Korea.

President Yun was immediately suspended after a National Assembly vote. The Constitutional Court will now decide whether to reinstate him or to formally kick him out – this could take up to 180 days.

Yun is the third South Korean President to be suspended from duties by Parliament (National Assembly). More on impeached Presidents here.
