South Korea's president impeached

218.917 - 252.941 Jean McKenzie

As the vote to impeach Mr. Yoon got underway, a solemn warning from Parliament's speaker. The weight of your ballot is heavy today. It carries the weight of history, the weight of democracy. Enough MPs heeded his words. The motion passed by just four votes. This was the biggest test South Korea's young democracy has faced. And it's passed. Those on the streets cried in relief. I am so emotional.
