South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol vowed to “never give up” after lawmakers voted to impeach him Saturday, leaving him on the verge of being ousted after he shocked the nation by briefly imposing martial law. 

The National Assembly passed the impeachment bill with 204 lawmakers in the 300-member house in favour, exceeding the two-thirds majority needed. 

“While I may come to a stop for now, the journey toward the future that I have walked with the people over the past two and a half years must never be halted,” Yoon said in a statement.
