Shedding Light On South Korea's Current Political Turmoil

In the past month or so, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol, who had attempted to impose martial law, was impeached with a warrant subsequently issued for his arrest but was thwarted. PM Han Duck-soo was then appointed acting president but was also impeached almost immediately after. William Pesek, a columnist at Nikkei Asia helps shed some light into what is happening in South Korea.
