The Constitutional Court's decision to uphold former President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment Friday saw extensive media coverage, including a 4-page extra edition of The Korea Herald.
Distributed in high-traffic areas in Seoul, such as Gwanghwamun Square, the extra edition covered the day's developments and the decision's impact on the country.
A photograph of the ousted president, grim-faced in a black suit, dominated the front page, alongside a lead story detailing the court’s decision, the upcoming presidential election in June, and the legal challenges Yoon may now face.
Inside, the paper covered the day's events and aftermath. Political leaders across the spectrum reacted swiftly, while demonstrators who were deeply divided over the ruling gathered in public squares to witness history unfold.
Additional reports outlined the electoral roadmap ahead, security measures taken to protect the justices and a retrospective on Yoon’s turbulent presidency. The paper also featured Prime Minister Han Duck-soo’s official statement following the ruling.
The full reports are available on The Korea Herald website.
Other local news outlets, including Seoul Shinmun Daily and Segye Times, also published extra editions Friday.
