South Korea ‘at breaking point’ ahead of ruling on President Yoon’s impeachment

Barricades go up in Seoul as court prepares to rule on whether to uphold Yoon's impeachment or restore his powers

The usually quiet streets outside South Korea's constitutional court in Seoul are now a political ground zero for a decision that will determine the country's future.

Months after Yoon Suk Yeol imposed martial law and triggered South Korea's worst political crisis in decades, the court will on Friday decide whether to uphold the suspended president's impeachment or return him to office.
