The Constitutional Court of South Korea unexpectedly postponed its ruling Monday regarding the constitutionality of Acting President Choi Sang-mok's refusal to appoint Judge Ma Eun-hyeok to the court.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been arrested and suspended from duties over his declaration of martial law, was in court again Tuesday for hearings that will decide whether to officially remove him from office.

A former South Korean defence minister charged with insurrection over his role in a short-lived martial law declaration has praised protesters who stormed a court over last month's decision to extend President Yoon Suk Yeol's detention.
