Acting President Choi Sang-mok on Tuesday asked the public to respect the upcoming ruling of the Constitutional Court on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment amid concerns over an intensifying social conflict.

South Korea’s Constitutional Court could soon rule whether to dismiss or reinstate impeached conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach and was indicted on criminal charges for declaring martial law last December, was cleared to be released from detention on Friday.
