South Korea 's Yoon says will 'step aside' after impeachment vote but promises to continue to fight the 'good fight'
Lawmakers voted on Saturday to remove Yoon from office over his"insurrectionary" suspension of civilian rule, which lasted hours but plunged South Korea into some of its worst political turmoil in years. "To hold those responsible for this absurd situation accountable and to prevent its recurrence, it is essential to uncover the truth and demand accountability."
Prosecutors said they were also seeking an arrest warrant for the head of the Army Special Warfare Command Kwak Jong-keun, according to Yonhap.

Han has also ordered the military to"enhance vigilance" against North Korea, with which the South technically remains at war.Vast protests both for and against Yoon have rocked the South Korean capital since the December 3 martial law decree.
