    Constitutional Court
    1. Given the serious negative impact and far-reaching consequences of the respondent's constitutional violations ... (We) dismiss respondent President Yoon Suk Yeol.
    2. We hereby pronounce the following ruling, with the unanimous agreement of all Justices.

    Yoon Suk-Yeol
    People Power Party
    1. I am truly sorry and heartbroken that I was unable to meet your expectations.
    2. I am very sorry and regretful that I could not live up to your expectations. I will always pray for our beloved Republic of Korea and its citizens.
    3. Dear citizens, it has been a great honour to be able to work for the Republic of Korea. I am deeply grateful to all of you who have supported and cheered for me, despite my many shortcomings.

    1. If martial law had been maintained, South Koreans would have faced the risk of arrest and detention without trial as well as severe restrictions on their freedom of expression and assembly, among other human rights violations. The constitutional court's ruling was a decisive step to uphold human rights protections and democratic values.

    1. Even if the impeachment is upheld, the disarray will continue with this so-called far-right bloc that has now emerged.
