SEAToday.com, Seoul - South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been urged to step down and threatened with impeachment after declaring “martial law” on Tuesday (12/3), sparking protests and political criticism. South Korean opposition parties called for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol if he does not resign immediately, Wednesday (12/4).

Impeachment requires the support of two-third of lawmakers and at least six Constitutional Court judges. If successful, President Yoon Suk Yeol would be the second South Korean leader to be removed from office since the country implemented democracy, after Park Geun Hye.

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) also called on its members to go on an indefinite mass strike until President Yoon Suk Yeol resigns following his attempt to impose martial law. The KCTU believes that President Yoon has taken irrational and anti-democratic actions.

President Yoon Suk Yeol announced the lifting of martial law in South Korea on Wednesday (4/12) morning.
