What’s Going On?
South Korea’s parliament is like their big decision-making team. Recently, they passed special laws to investigate President Yoon Suk-yeol and his wife, First Lady Kim Keon-hee.
Why Are They Being Investigated?
- For the President: There’s an investigation to see if President Yoon did something wrong when he talked about maybe using martial law. Martial law is when the military takes over control from the government during emergencies. Some people think he might have broken some rules.
- For the First Lady: First Lady Kim is being looked into for two reasons:
- Stock Manipulation: This means there’s a question about whether she tried to unfairly change stock prices to make money.
- Election Interference: Some people think she might have tried to influence who gets chosen in elections by using a powerful friend.
What Could Happen Next?
The acting president, Han Duck-soo, has been asked to officially start these investigations by Tuesday. If he doesn’t, some leaders are saying they’ll hold him responsible.
Why Is This Important?
It’s a big deal when leaders are investigated because it can affect how the country runs. It also shows that in South Korea, just like many countries, everyone has to follow the rules, even the president!
