STORYLINE:
Large crowds gathered outside the South Korean parliament on Thursday for a candle-lit vigil against President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is facing an impeachment vote following the stunning-but-brief imposition of martial law that brought armed troops into Seoul streets.
South Korea’s president replaced his defense minister Thursday as opposition parties moved to impeach both men over the stunning-but-brief imposition of martial law that brought armed troops into Seoul streets.
The Democratic Party and other small opposition parties submitted a joint motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday over his martial law declaration the previous night.
Martial law lasted about six hours, as the National Assembly quickly voted to overrule the president, forcing his Cabinet to lift it before daybreak Wednesday.
