The Capital Cable

What's going on with South Korea's political crisis? What to expect from the impeachment trial? 

South Korea's National Assembly impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on December 14, eleven days after he declared a short-lived martial law. The next critical step now is deliberations by the Constitutional Court to determine whether the impeachment motion is constitutional. 

Why was martial law declared in South Korea on December 3? What happens next for President Yoon Suk Yeol as he faces impeachment? What does this mean for South Korea and its relations with the U.S., China, Japan and the world?
