South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok called on Friday for the nation to respect and accept any decision, ahead of a Constitutional Court's ruling on the impeachment of leader Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law order.

After the chaos of his predecessor’s call for martial law, Choi Sang-mok tells WSJ he hopes to avoid more tariffs and tensions.

Even after South Korea’s Constitution Court delivers its verdict, the country’s fierce and fractured partisan divide is likely to rage on both within and outside of the government.

A South Korean court cancelled impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant on Friday, potentially paving the way for his release from jail while he faces trial on insurrection charges over a brief imposition of martial law.
