Han has been the caretaker leader after President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by the assembly over his short-lived imposition of martial law earlier this month.

As the president awaits an impeachment trial, the country’s interim leader may, too, be ousted. The currency has plunged as the crisis has deepened.

South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach prime minister and acting President Han Duck-soo Friday, less than two weeks after parliament stripped President Yoon Suk Yeol of his powers over his short-lived martial law order that plunged the country into political chaos.
