Yoon Suk Yeol's Fate Hangs in Balance as South Korea's Impeached President Faces Constitutional Court Hearings

SEOUL, South Korea – As President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea faces a constitutional court hearing to determine his fate, the nation remains on edge. The former prosecutor has been suspended from duties and arrested since declaring martial law, plunging democratic South Korea into political turmoil.

Yoon's ill-fated decision to impose martial law on December 3 sparked widespread opposition when he suspended civilian rule and deployed soldiers to parliament. Despite the move lasting only six hours, it was enough to galvanize the opposition-led parliament into action, ultimately leading to Yoon's impeachment.

As part of a separate criminal investigation, Yoon was detained in January on insurrection charges, becoming the first sitting South Korean head of state to be arrested. He has been held in detention but continues to attend Constitutional Court hearings, which will determine whether his impeachment is upheld.

If the court upholds the impeachment, an election must be held within 60 days to elect a new president.

On Tuesday, a convoy of black SUVs arrived at the Constitutional Court, carrying Yoon to attend a hearing scheduled for 200 pm (0500 GMT). At previous hearings, Yoon has denied instructing top military commanders to drag out lawmakers from parliament to prevent them from voting down his decree. He has claimed that he did not believe the short-lived martial law was a failed martial law, but rather one that ended sooner than expected.

During Tuesday's hearing, two former military commanders and an ex-spy agency official are set to testify as witnesses. Hong Jang-won, a former deputy director of the National Intelligence Service, previously testified before lawmakers that he had been ordered to arrest politicians – a claim that contradicts Yoon's denial of such an order.

Yoon, 64, was indicted in January, with prosecutors accusing him of being a ringleader of the insurrection. He faces a separate criminal trial on those charges, which carry significant penalties. Insurrection is not covered by presidential immunity, and if convicted, he could face jail time or even the death penalty.

The outcome of these hearings will have far-reaching implications for South Korea's political landscape and its citizens' trust in their elected officials.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
