Summary
South Korea's lawmakers on Friday voted to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo. It is the second head-of-state ousting this month after a short-lived martial decree on Dec. 3. Han's predecessor, President Yoon Suk Yeol, was impeached a mere two weeks prior.
Finance Ministry's Choi warned of the economic and security impact of Han's impeachment vote. International Monetary Fund projects 2.5% growth in South Korea's gross domestic product for 2024.
