South Korea’s Constitutional Court ousts President Yoon Suk Yeol

헌정 사상 두 번째… 헌재, 윤 대통령 탄핵 인용 Welcome to Within The Frame, where we bring the most pressing issues across the globe into focus, I'm Kim Mok-yeon. South Korea's Constitutional Court’s unanimous ruling to remove President Yoon Suk Yeol from office has now set the country on a new constitutional path. With executive power transferred and a presidential election looming, the country faces a critical period of transition — and reflection. To help us unpack the legal foundations of the Court’s decision and what it means for the presidency and the rule of law moving forward, we’re pleased to welcome attorney An Jun-seong back to the studio. Welcome back. We also connect to Lee Hee-eun. Dean and Professor of Law at Handong Int'l Law School. Great to see you. And today, we also invite Bruce Klingner, Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation from Washington D.C. Thank you for joining us. 1. (AN) So attorney An, the Constitutional Court ruled to uphold President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment. What do you think were the key constitutional principles or legal standards that guided the Court’s ruling? 2. (LEE) Now to Prof. Lee, could you elaborate for us, what were the likely constitutional violations identified by the justices? 3. (KLINGER) Let's also touch upon the reactions. Dr. Klinger, how is President Yoon’s impeachment ruling being viewed in Washington, particularly among U.S. policymakers, intelligence circles, or defense analysts? 4. (KLINGER) What about in other countries? How might regional actors such as North Korea, China, or even Japan interpret the ruling? Could it shift perceptions of South Korean political stability or resolve? 5. (AN) So with this latest ruling, attorney An, what happens next? What are the immediate constitutional and legal procedures that follow the Court’s decision? 6. (KLINGER) So, South Korea will have to hold a new presidential election within 60 days. Dr. Klinger, how might this sudden leadership transition affect ongoing U.S.-ROK diplomatic or security coordination? 7. (AN) Going back to the past, attorney An, how does this ruling compare to past impeachment decisions involving Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye, in terms of legal reasoning or the scope of presidential authority? 8. (LEE) Prof. Lee, as impeachment rulings are final and not subject to appeal, I wonder if there are discussions in the legal community about whether such high-impact decisions should involve any form of post-decision review or institutional check. 9. *(LEE) So now that Yoon has been removed from office, he no longer holds presidential immunity and will stand trial on charges of leading an insurrection. His trial begins on April 14th. What do you think will be the most critical point of contention during the trial? 10. (AN) The issue of constitutional reform has also become a pressing issue following this crisis. From a legal standpoint, how might the impeachment process influence future discussions on constitutional amendments or presidential emergency powers? 11. (KLINGER) Given the concerns that the impeachment and martial law controversy may have affected South Korea’s international credibility, what steps should Seoul take now to restore diplomatic trust and reassure key allies, Washington in particular? 12. (LEE) Looking ahead, what do you believe is the most important constitutional or institutional lesson Korea should take away from this impeachment trial — both for the presidency and for the health of the country's democracy? That brings us to a close. Many thanks to Attorney An, Professor Lee, and of course, Dr. Klinger, for sharing your valuable insights this evening. We truly appreciate your time and expertise. And that will be all from us on Within the Frame. Be sure to tune in next time as we continue to explore the stories that matter.
