South Korea’s Constitutional Court adjourned the first session of the impeachment trial of Yoon Suk-yeol, ending the proceedings within minutes due to his absence. The trial, which could determine Yoon’s political future, is set to continue with more substantive arguments during the next session scheduled for Thursday.
Yoon, a prominent figure in South Korea’s political landscape, did not appear in court, prompting the swift adjournment. The reasons for his absence were not immediately clear. The Constitutional Court emphasized the importance of both parties’ presence for a fair hearing.
The upcoming session on Thursday is expected to delve deeper into the charges against Yoon. Observers anticipate that the proceedings could have significant implications for South Korea’s political scene, especially among young voters keenly watching the developments.
