In its second attempt, the National Assembly moved to force President Yoon Suk Yeol from office. But the troubles for him and his country are far from over.

South Korea's central bank vowed on Sunday vows to keep markets stable after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached over his brief imposition of martial law.
