For months, protesters for and against Mr. Yoon have taken over the streets in Seoul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The country must continue without an elected leader before the elections take place, as it deals with external challenges that include the deepening military cooperation between North Korea and Russia and an upheaval in global trade ignited by President Donald J. Trump\u2019s new tariffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But after months of political limbo, the ruling by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/13\/world\/asia\/south-korea-yoon-court-impeachment.html\" title=\"\">the Constitutional Court<\/a> on Friday finally gave South Korea a sense of direction that it has desperately needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yoon, who had defiantly held onto his job despite his impeachment, is a former president now. In the coming days, he must vacate his hilltop presidential residence in central Seoul, and the government will schedule a national election because his successor must be chosen within 60 days. On Friday, officials lowered a presidential emblem in front of a building from where Mr. Yoon used to run the government. Military units began removing his portraits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is a victory for South Korean democracy,\u201d said Sung Deuk Hahm, dean of the Graduate School of Political Studies at Kyonggi University, remembering how South Koreans had sacrificed their lives to oppose military rule in the past. \u201cIt has taken time, but this time, the rule of law eventually prevailed without blood-shedding or serious violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/03\/10\/world\/asia\/south-korea-martial-law-president-yoon.html\" title=\"\">Mr. Yoon\u2019s institution of martial law,<\/a> which lasted six hours until the National Assembly voted to kill it, was the first attempt by a South Korean leader to use the military as a political tool since the country began democratizing in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a ruling millions of South Koreans, including schoolchildren, watched on live television on Friday, the Constitutional Court found Mr. Yoon guilty of \u201cviolating the constitutional order\u201d and \u201cbetraying the people\u2019s trust\u201d when he sent troops to seize the legislature during his short-lived martial law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hours before the ruling, supporters and opponents of Mr. Yoon gathered for rival rallies in Seoul, some camping out on the pavement overnight. As Acting Chief Justice Moon Hyungbae began reading out the 22-minute-long decision, silence fell as the crowds listened intently to every word of the ruling that would determine Mr. Yoon\u2019s fate \u2014 and the future of South Korea\u2019s democracy. Some clasped their hands together in prayer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When the verdict came, a crowd gathered near the court erupted. Those supporting Mr. Yoon\u2019s removal reacted with screams of delight, pumping their fists into the air and hugging each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is the day I\u2019ve been waiting for over the past four months of protesting,\u201d said Jang Jaeeuk, 21, who said he had stayed out on the street near the court overnight along with other students from his university, getting only three hours of sleep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At a rally of supporters of Mr. Yoon, there was loud booing. Some people folded over in dismay, and others loudly cursed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ye Chung-ho, 65, had come to Seoul from Geoje Island, off the south coast of South Korea, spending two nights on the street to support Mr. Yoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe constitution has collapsed,\u201d he said after the ruling. \u201cThe decision is illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the crowds dispersed quickly after the court\u2019s announcement despite earlier fears of violent clashes. The police had been on their highest alert, erecting tall barricades around the courthouse. Schools in the neighborhood were closed. Businesses told employees to work from home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cToday marks the beginning of a true South Korea,\u201d said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/10\/world\/asia\/south-korea-lee-jae-myung-martial-law.html\" title=\"\">Lee Jae-myung<\/a>, the main opposition leader, who campaigned for Mr. Yoon\u2019s removal. Mr. Lee is expected to win the nomination of the Democratic Party, and polls have shown that he had the strongest chance to win if a presidential election were held now. No strong front-runner has emerged in Mr. Yoon\u2019s party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yoon thanked his supporters and apologized to the people. But he did not comment directly on the court\u2019s ruling, only saying: \u201cI am regretful and sorry that I could not live up to your expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But his People Power Party said it \u201chumbly\u201d accepted the ruling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Political turmoil could continue if Mr. Yoon\u2019s hard-line supporters continue their protests. But \u201cit won\u2019t pose a big threat, as the People Power Party must shift its gears toward the new election,\u201d said Ahn Byong-jin, a professor of political science at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yoon plunged his country into its biggest political crisis in decades when he suddenly declared martial law on Dec. 3 at a time when many world leaders were busy preparing for Mr. Trump\u2019s return to the White House. Instead of building bipartisan cooperation, he attempted to seize the National Assembly with troops, labeling the opposition \u201canti-state forces.\u201d Citizens quickly mobilized to block the military takeover, giving lawmakers time to gather and vote down his martial law declaration. Mr. Yoon ended up getting impeached, leaving his country to face Mr. Trump \u2014 and North Korea\u2019s leader Kim Jong-un \u2014 under an acting president with no popular mandate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSouth Korea has managed to avoid the worst outcomes and can see light at the end of a long political crisis,\u201d Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, said about Friday\u2019s ruling. \u201cAnd not a moment too soon, given how the next administration in Seoul must navigate North Korea\u2019s military threats, China\u2019s diplomatic pressure and Trump\u2019s trade tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yoon\u2019s ouster was a crushing blow to the country\u2019s conservative camp: He was the second conservative president in a row to be ousted by impeachment. (The first was President Park Geun-hye in 2017.) It increased the chances of his progressive foes in the current opposition to regain power and reshape South Korea\u2019s foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yoon pleased conservatives by adopting tough stances toward North Korea and China and expanding joint military drills with the United States. He also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/16\/world\/asia\/south-korea-us-diplomacy.html\" title=\"\">won plaudits from Washington<\/a> when he improved ties with Japan to lay the ground for trilateral cooperation to deter China. His progressive rivals favor dialogue with North Korea and seek to be on good terms with both the United States, South Korea\u2019s main military ally, and China, its biggest trade partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt will be an uphill battle for the conservative party to win a snap presidential election,\u201d said Duyeon Kim, a Seoul-based fellow with the Center for a New American Security. \u201cIf Lee wins, South Korea\u2019s foreign policy will likely look very different from what the U.S. and like-minded countries have enjoyed during Yoon\u2019s presidency, because of the demands of the progressive base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Yoon\u2019s martial law also exposed how dangerously close the country could come to a military takeover. South Korea is grappling with a deepening political polarization, online demagoguery and the mainstreaming of a radical right wing. Its legislature is gridlocked by partisan warfare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhoever wins the next election will face the daunting challenges of bringing together a deeply fractured society, as well as dealing with Trump\u2019s tariffs,\u201d said Mr. Hahm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
