Yes, CNN and the BBC and other foreign media explained in detail the appointment of a constitutional judge, which led to the impeachment of Han Deok-soo, the acting president.
CNN pointed out that the Constitutional Court has said it will put the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol first, but the lack of judges has complicated the matter.
The BBC also explained that even if only one judge opposes it, President Yoon will avoid impeachment, and that the National Assembly elected a judge to fill the vacancy, but the opposition party started impeaching him because Han refused to appoint him.
The British Guardian said that the prompt appointment of a successor judge would increase the possibility of passing President Yoon's impeachment.
He added that the appearance inside the National Assembly this time reminded him of how difficult it is to distinguish between democracy and the rule of power.
The New York Times also addressed the impeachment quorum controversy,

Bloomberg said martial law has caused financial market instability and diplomatic disruptions in South Korea, noting that political turmoil is deepening the country's economic crisis.
France's Liberacion also pointed out that the martial law crisis seemed to end with the impeachment of President Yoon on the 14th, but the vote put South Korean state agencies in an unprecedented crisis.
AFP said acting Supreme Court justice Choi Sang-mok would be equally pressured to appoint a justice, pointing out that if he refused, he would be impeached and open a new chapter in absurdity.
The Washington Post has reorganized President Yoon's martial law situation.
The Post pointed out that when combined with the investigation results and reported testimony, President Yoon tried to arrest his political opponents by believing in unfounded conspiracy theories of election fraud, and that he went much further than his claim that he only tried to warn the opposition.
