Seoul, South Korea – South Korean Constitutional Court deleted Impeachment of President Jono Suka Yeol From the office on Friday, ending with his violent presidency and creating the election to find a new leader, four months after he threw South Korea's policy Declaration of martial law.
The unanimous verdict restricted a dramatic drop for Yun, a former star prosecutor who moved from a political beginner to the president in 2022, just a year after joining politics.
In the national verdict, the acting head of the court Moon Hun-Ba, according to the oxygen bench, supported the impeachment of the youth, since the decree of his combat legislation seriously violated the constitution and other laws.
“The defendant not only declared martial law, but also violated the Constitution and laws through mobilization of military and police forces to prevent the implementation of the legislative bodies,” Moon said. “Ultimately, the martial law declared in this case violated significant emergency requirements.”
“Given a serious negative impact on the constitutional order and significant effects of the defendant's abnormalities, we find that the benefits of the Constitution by removing the defendant significantly exceed the national losses from the president's removal,” justice ended.
At an anti-one rally near the Old Royal Palace, which dominates the center of Seoul, people broke out tears and danced when the sentence was announced. Two women cried as they hugged, and the old man jumped to their feet and shouted with joy.

Later, the crowd began to walk through the streets of Seoul. Some people were dressed in cute blue bear suits, a joint mascot that uses the colors of the opposition.
Outside the official residence, thousands of fans cried and shouted when they saw the news on the giant TV screen. They waved South Korean and American flags and slogans.
“We will absolutely not shake!” The protest leader shouted on stage. “Anyone who adopts this ruling and preparing for the early presidential election is our enemy.”
No serious violence has been reported.
What's next for South Korea
The elections will be held within two months to replace the young, but the purulent national gap over the impeachment of the young will probably continue and can complicate the efforts of South Korea to combat President Trump's policy “America first” and North KoreaObservers say ties with Russia.
In his statement issued in his defense team, Jono said he was deeply regretted that he did not justify the public's expectations, but stopped to accurately accept the verdict. There were fears that he would push his efforts to resist his removal because he had previously promised to fight.
He added that he would pray for the country and her people. “It was the greatest pride of my life to serve our nation,” Jon said.
The ruling party of power Jono said he would make a decision, but one of Jonah's lawyers, Yon Kap-kun, called the ruling “completely incomprehensible” and “pure political decision”.
Prime Minister Khan Dak-Su, acting as leader of the country, promised in a television speech to “do not exist gaps in national security and diplomacy” and maintain public safety and order. Khan was appointed Prime Minister, official # 2, Jon.
“Responding the will of our sovereign people, I will do my best to manage the next presidential election in accordance with the Constitution and the Law, providing a smooth transition to the next administration,” Khan said.
Surveys show Lee Jay-Min, leader of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party, is the first favorite to win the election to select the successor of Juno. Lee faces corruption and other accusations.
Lee welcomed the ruling and attributed the South Korean people for the “defense of our Democratic Republic”.
“The courage of people who stood in front of weapons, swords and tanks, as well as the bravery of the troops who refused to obey unfair orders, led to this great revolution of light,” Lee said.
A nation is still felt from a brief administration of martial law
The crushed right lasted only six hours, but left behind the political crisis, knocking the financial markets and restless diplomatic partners of the country. In January, Yun was detained separately and charged with prosecutors under the alleged uprising due to his decree, a charge that carries the death penalty or a lifelong imprisonment when he was found guilty.
According to the decree, the first of its kind for more than 40 years, hundreds of soldiers were sent to the Assembly, electoral departments and other places. Special operations soldiers smashed the windows at the National Assembly and got into the protest with the citizens, shocked the South Koreans and causing traumatic memories of military administration.
Enough legislators, including some of the ruling party, managed to join the Assembly to unanimously vote for their decree.
In the short term, the martial law did not take place serious violence, but some senior military and police officers sent to the Assembly testified that Yun ordered them to pull the legislators to block the vote for their decree or delay their political competitors. Yoon says troops were located on assembly just to maintain order.
64-year-old Jon was a conservative, December 14, controlled by the liberal opposition, controlled by the National Assembly. The Assembly has accused him of violating the Constitution and other laws by suppressing collection activities, trying to detain politicians and undermine peace across the country.
In his latest testimony at the hearing of the Constitutional Court, Yon stated that his decree was a desperate attempt to attract public support for the fight against the “wickedness” of the Democratic Party, which prevented its agenda impeaching top officials and reduced the government's budget bill. Previously, he called the National Assembly “Batleika of Criminals” and “Anti -State Forces”.
Some experts say Yun may have imposed a military rule to abandon a possible independent scandal investigation involving his wife Kim Keon Ha.
Without presidential immunity, Yun could face other criminal charges such as abuse of power. He is the first president of South Korea to arrested or accused while working.
Yoon held the post of Prosecutor General under his predecessor, Liberal President Moon Jain, before coming to a party that manages now in 2021 after disputes with Moon allies. The public image, as strongly confined and uncompromising, helped him to defeat his presidential elections in the 2022. But after becoming president, Jon was criticized that he refused to replace officials involved in scandals and vetoed many bills adopted by the Assembly.
