On Dec 8, Kim Yong-hyun, who had resigned as defence minister days earlier, is arrested over his role in the martial law declaration. The interior minister resigns.
The main opposition party says it will try to impeach the president again on Dec 14.
The next day, the justice ministry announced it has banned Yoon from travelling abroad.
On Dec 12, Yoon again defends his shock decision, saying the opposition had pushed South Korea into a “national crisis”.
Dec 14: Yoon impeached
Out of 300 lawmakers, 204 voted to impeach Yoon and 85 voted against the motion.
Yoon is suspended from office while South Korea’s Constitutional Court has six months to deliberate on the vote.
