South Korea's Constitutional Court announced on Friday that it will hold the first arguments in the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk-yeol on January 14. This trial aims to determine whether President Yoon should be removed from office.
President Yoon is required to appear for the initial arguments. Should he choose not to attend, the court has scheduled a second session for January 16 to proceed without his presence.
The upcoming hearings are significant for South Korea's political landscape and are being closely watched by both local citizens and the international community. The outcome could have lasting impacts on the country's governance and its role within the global arena.
