South Korean Court Reinstates Han Duck-soo as Acting President

The Constitutional Court overturned Han's impeachment, restoring him to leadership while deliberations on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment remain unresolved.

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo was reinstated as acting president after the Constitutional Court ruled 7-1 to dismiss his impeachment.
The court found insufficient grounds for Han's removal, with two justices ruling the impeachment motion lacked a required two-thirds quorum in parliament.
Han pledged to address urgent issues like global trade and called for national unity following his reinstatement.
The court has yet to rule on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, which could lead to either his reinstatement or a snap presidential election within 60 days.
Massive rival protests continue across South Korea as public and political tensions rise ahead of the court's decision on Yoon's future.
