    This is a revenge impeachment on the acting president who took over for Yoon after he was impeached.

      ?

      Nah, they (the members of legislature who voted to impeach the prime minister) said he, as acting president, refused to appoint supreme court justices (edit: correction: constitutional court justices) already approved by the legislature, so they impeached him.

      What is “revenge” about this? (Unless I missed something)

      Supreme court (edit: correction: Constitutional court) needs 2/3 for a quorum, total is 9 seats, they have 6 right now, so if anyone on the court dies, they might have issues trying to convict the president of impeachment.
