European and Middle Eastern media are also paying attention to the future situation, citing the news that President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment bill was passed by the National Assembly as emergency news.

Yes, among European media, the British public broadcaster BBC is reporting the situation most heavily from last week's declaration of emergency martial law to today, when the impeachment bill was passed.

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

Even before the vote, he detailed the news of the crowd gathering in front of the National Assembly and the mixed reactions of citizens in favor of and against impeachment immediately after the vote, with cheers and silence, respectively.

In the voice of a Seoul correspondent, the BBC noted the future situation, saying the Constitutional Court must now conclude on the impeachment trial in six months.

The Financial Times reported the current status of the vote on the front of its website under the title of 'Korean President Impeached After Failure to gamble on martial law' and
Major British daily newspapers, including the
Telegraph and the Guardian, also quickly posted the news on their websites.

French daily Le Monde also said that the impeachment bill was passed by the National Assembly after President Yoon's failure to bet on the martial law, but pointed out 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.

Since last week, the British government, the European Union, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have expressed concern over the situation in South Korea and expressed their intention to keep a close eye on it.
