President Yoon Suk Yeol’s stunning martial law declaration lasted just hours, but experts say it raised serious questions about his ability to govern for the remaining 2 1/2 years of his term.

South Korea's opposition parties submitted an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday afternoon, just hours after his short-lived attempt at imposing martial law was overturned by lawmakers.

Around 10pm on December 3rd Yoon Suk Yeol, the conservative president of South Korea, suddenly declared martial law: banning all political parties and severely curbing media freedom. Soldiers were deployed to the parliament building and riot police lined the roads.
