TOKYO -- The political turmoil left behind by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration and lifting of martial law last week has cast a shadow over Northeast Asia's security situation and relations with Japan, which Yoon had been instrumental in mending.
The impeachment bid by the National Assembly failed on Saturday, but it remains unclear exactly what duties Yoon might carry out until he steps down. Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the ruling People Power Party, said on Sunday Yoon would no longer be involved in national politics, including diplomacy.
