,
, ‘The NYT reported that “after President Yoon’s bold move to enforce martial law plunged Korea into crisis, opposition lawmakers have submitted an impeachment proposal and protesters are demanding his resignation, making President Yoon’s political fate uncertain.”‘,
,
, “The NYT introduced the detailed procedures for impeachment and the distribution of seats in Korea’s parliament, which currently leans towards the opposition. It also noted that if all ruling People Power Party lawmakers vote against the impeachment, the proposal cannot be passed.”,
,
, ‘WP commented on the impeachment proposal, stating “(though there are many hurdles to impeachment) it is clear that President Yoon’s political future is uncertain,” mentioning possible scenarios such as voluntary resignation or removal through impeachment proceedings.’,
,
, ‘It also analyzed that “this upheaval occurring during a U.S. regime change injects uncertainty into the strengthened security relations between Korea and the United States during President Yoon’s tenure.”‘,
,
, ‘After introducing efforts by President Yoon to improve Korea-Japan relations and strengthen U.S.-ROK-Japan cooperation, which were warmly welcomed by the Biden administration, it projected that the current situation will “shake up the warming Korea-Japan relations and the efforts by both countries to collaborate with the U.S. against regional threats.”‘,
