South Korea acting president calls for stability amid tensions

Hwang also ordered the Justice Ministry and police to prepare for the possibility of violent protests. He also urged the military to remain on stand-by amid what he called the provocation by neighboring North Korea to aggravate confusion in the South. Chaos has broken out in Seoul after the Constitutional Court voted to remove Park from power over a corruption scandal. At least two people have died in clashes between the police and Park’s supporters. She was removed from office, more than two months after the parliament voted in favor of her impeachment.
