South Korea's parliament has impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his martial law decree, ending days of political paralysis.

Impeached President said he will “never give up” and called for officials to maintain stability in government functions during what he described as a “temporary” pause of his presidency.

The South Korean National Assembly voted Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, forcing him to immediately hand power over to the prime minister following his short-lived attempt this month to impose martial law.
