South Korea's parliament began a session on Friday where a vote to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo over short-lived martial law is scheduled, as the Constitutional Court said it would swiftly decide suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol's fate.

The impeachments of the country’s top two officials has worsened its political turmoil, deepened economic uncertainties, and hurt its international image.

The country's National Assembly already impeached and suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol earlier this month for imposing an unpopular martial law.
