Lawmakers are preparing to vote on a motion to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol after his failed attempt to impose martial law earlier this week
The Korean Bar Association backed impeachment on Saturday morning, stating that Yoon’s martial law declaration failed to meet the requirements of the constitution and that he was no longer fit to serve as president.
The influential group, which has 30,000 members, said it would support efforts to investigate Yoon for insurrection charges regardless of the impeachment vote outcome.
