South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach prime minister and acting President Han Duck-soo Friday, less than two weeks after parliament stripped President Yoon Suk Yeol of his powers over his short-lived martial law order that plunged the country into political chaos.

Han Duck-soo, who is the Prime Minister of South Korea, took over the president’s powers after Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached nearly two weeks ago. But why does the opposition Democratic Party want to impeach Han?

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who was impeached on Friday as South Korea's acting president, is a career technocrat whose wide-ranging experience and reputation for rationality failed to shield him from growing political turmoil.
