Cover Story: South Korean President’s attempt at martial law may hasten his exit

In a dramatic turn of events last week, South Korea plunged into political chaos after President Yoon Suk-yeol’s ill-fated attempt to impose martial law sparked a six-hour standoff, shocking the world and rattling one of Asia’s leading democracies.

The move, which many viewed as a severe overreach, has left Yoon politically isolated and facing calls for impeachment. Although he later apologized for his ill-fated attempt and has avoided an impeachment so far, political unrest is expected to continue.
