South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faced an impeachment attempt this week, stemming from his controversial attempt to impose martial law.
His party's strategic boycott of the crucial vote prevented the necessary quorum, resulting in the impeachment motion's failure.
Despite facing intense criticism and calls for resignation, President Yoon issued a public apology but refused to step down.
The opposition party plans to reintroduce the impeachment motion next week, keeping the political situation highly volatile.
