South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is heading toward impeachment proceedings after his ill-fated attempt to impose martial law, with the six opposition parties on Wednesday submitting a motion to force Yoon from office.

South Korean lawmakers called on President Yoon Suk Yeol to resign or face impeachment after he declared martial law only to lift the order hours later.

Six South Korean opposition parties later submitted a bill to parliament to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, with voting set for Friday or Saturday.
