Thousands on the streets of Seoul are celebrating after South Korean MPs voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol

Yoon will be suspended while the prime minister will serve as acting president. The constitutional court now has six months to rule on the impeachment.

A total of 204 MPs approved the motion to impeach Yoon, who plunged the country into political turmoil with a short-lived martial law declaration last week

Yoon survived an impeachment vote last weekend and has clung to power, despite mounting calls for him to step down

Yoon and his allies are currently under investigation for insurrection charges, and a travel ban has been slapped on several of them
