Just to be clear to non-Koreans, this is NOT the president who was impeached for declaring Martial Law and locking out Parliament. This is the guy who stepped in that other guy’s place as acting president and was impeached for not trying hard enough to stop the declaration of Martial Law.

I’m not South Korean. Why was this a bad thing? The court ruled 7-1 due to the methods of impeachment not aligning with the constitution. I think rule of law is important. If you want to impeach, then either follow the law or amend the constitution - or else try to circumvent it and set a precedent to your own eventual peril.
