While the second impeachment motion against Yoon Suk Yeol's president passed the National Assembly, a German newspaper recently reported on related news and has been criticized for sending a photo of Ahn Cheol Soo's People's Power instead of President Yoon.

On social media (SNS) on the 13th, a netizen posted a photo of an article in Munich, Germany, calling it "finding a mistake."

The article says, "The Ministry of Justice has banned President Yoon Suk Yeol from leaving the country amid the worsening national crisis in the Republic of Korea," but the person in the picture was not President Yoon, but a member of the People's Power of Ahn Cheol Soo.

He even added the phrase "Yoon Suk Yeol, President of the Republic of Korea" under Ahn's photo.

In the second round of voting on President Yoon's impeachment, all 300 lawmakers participated in the vote, with 204 votes in favor, 85 against, three abstentions, and eight invalid votes. Ahn said he would openly vote in favor of both the first and second rounds before voting, and in the first round, all members of the People's Power left the party and remained in the National Assembly's plenary session.

"I hope this impeachment of the president will be the last in the constitutional history of the Republic of Korea," Ahn said on his SNS on the 15th. "Now is the time for the entire nation as well as the ruling and opposition parties to join forces to overcome the Korean crisis."
