Yes, the European Union said, "It is important to ensure that the current political crisis is resolved quickly and in an orderly manner in accordance with the Korean Constitution."

Anita Heifer, the EU's chief spokesman for foreign affairs and security affairs, issued a statement saying she was paying attention to the National Assembly's passing of the impeachment motion against President Yoon.

He added that the Republic of Korea is an important strategic partner of the EU.

Major European media are also interested in the news of the impeachment.

The BBC, a British public broadcaster, placed impeachment news at the top of its website's first screen and set up a "live" section to deliver real-time news.

After the vote, he is paying attention to the Constitutional Court's decision in the future, saying that he will convey the mixed reactions of citizens for and against impeachment, and that President Yoon's fate will now be held by the Constitutional Court.

The Financial Times posted an article on the front of its website titled "Korean President, Impeached After Failed Martial Law Gambling," followed by "Korean President, Vowing Never to Give Up After Voting for Impeachment."

French daily Le Monde also pointed out that President Yoon's "armament betting" failed, but that the final judgment of the Constitutional Court remains.

At the same time, he also introduced a case in which the Constitutional Court at the time rejected the impeachment of former President Roh Moo Hyun in 2004.

German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle also opened a live channel at the top of its website and reported on the parliamentary voting process and rallies held throughout Seoul in real time.

The media in Russia and the Middle East, as well as Western Europe, quickly reported the news of the impeachment?

[Reporter]
That's right.

Al Jazeera in the Arab world connected with a Seoul correspondent and reported the news of the impeachment and the reaction of citizens as emergency news.

The Russian daily Izvestia posted a breaking news that it supports the impeachment of the president of the Korean National Assembly as an important news on its website.

Another media outlet, Kommersant, wrote, "The impeachment bill against President Yoon, who is being investigated by the prosecution on charges of rebellion and other charges, was supported by the National Assembly," and detailed the status of the vote for and against.

Earlier, countries around the world temporarily issued travel warnings, cautioning their citizens who live or visit Korea.
