South Korea's parliament impeached Acting President Han Duck-soo on December 27, 2024, amid growing dissatisfaction over his refusal to appoint three judges to the Constitutional Court. This event followed the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol on December 14, 2024, after he briefly imposed martial law. The impeachment of Han marked a historic moment as it was the first time an acting president in South Korea was impeached. The political crisis significantly impacted the country, contributing to economic instability, with the Korean won reaching its lowest value in nearly 16 years.
