The Constitutional Court of South Korea has adjourned the initial session of arguments in the impeachment trial of Yoon Suk-yeol, ending the proceedings within minutes due to Yoon’s absence.
The trial, set to determine the fate of Yoon, was expected to commence with substantive hearings. However, the unexpected absence led to a swift adjournment, leaving many questions unanswered.
The court has scheduled the next session for Thursday, where it is anticipated that more substantial arguments will be presented. The proceedings are being closely watched by observers both domestically and internationally, as they hold significant implications for South Korea’s political landscape.
