South Korea's parliament appoints three new justices to oversee President Yoon's impeachment trial.

South Korea's parliament has appointed three new justices to the Constitutional Court, aiding in President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment trial over martial law imposition. The trial could last up to 180 days, with at least six justices needed to uphold the impeachment. Yoon's presidential power is suspended, and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, now acting president, has refused to approve the appointments until political consensus is reached.
