A ruling in favor of his removal requires six of the court’s eight justices. If impeached, a new election must be held within two months. The impeachment has deeply divided the country, with both large-scale protests and Yoon’s ongoing defiance, blaming political opponents for the crisis.
Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung remains a key contender in a potential election, though legal hurdles could prevent his candidacy. The court’s decision will shape South Korea’s political trajectory.
