South Korea Braces for Constitutional Court Ruling on President Yoon’s Impeachment

Acting President Han Duck-soo urges calm as police prepare for mass protests and potential unrest ahead of Friday's verdict.

The Constitutional Court will issue its decision on April 4, determining whether to uphold President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment over his martial law declaration.
More than 14,000 police officers will be deployed in Seoul, with streets near the court sealed off to prevent violent clashes during the announcement.
Acting President Han Duck-soo has called on the public to accept the court's ruling peacefully and emphasized the importance of public safety and order.
Public opinion strongly supports Yoon's removal, with a recent poll showing 60% of respondents favoring the impeachment being upheld.
If the impeachment is upheld, a snap presidential election must be held within 60 days, marking the second impeachment of a South Korean president in less than a decade.
