Summary

South Korean police searched President Yoon Suk Yeol’s office as part of an investigation into his failed attempt to impose martial law last week, which has triggered a constitutional crisis.

Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, linked to the martial law plan, survived a suicide attempt in custody.

Yoon faces a second impeachment attempt by the opposition after the first was blocked by his party.

The crisis has disrupted South Korea’s politics, foreign policy, and financial markets, with experts questioning the legality of Yoon’s actions and the ruling party divided over his future.
