The plan for a vote to impeach Han was unveiled on Thursday by the main opposition Democratic Party after he declined to immediately appoint three justices to fill vacancies at the Constitutional Court, saying it would exceed his acting role. The vote to determine Han's fate comes around the time the Constitutional Court on Friday will hold its first hearing in a case reviewing whether to reinstate Yoon or remove him permanently from office, after parliament's impeachment vote.
