Jin10 data reported on March 31st that South Korea’s acting president Han Duck-soo is facing new threats of impeachment due to the constitutional court’s delay in ruling on President Yoon Suk-yeol’s political fate, which has sparked dissatisfaction from both the ruling and opposition parties. Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, warned that if Han Duck-soo does not appoint a candidate for the last vacant position among the nine constitutional court judges by Tuesday, they will make a “significant decision.” Park did not specify what actions his party might take, but some colleagues in the party previously indicated they would push for Han Duck-soo’s impeachment again and take similar measures against any cabinet members who may succeed the acting president.
