south korea - The unexpected plane crash in South Korea is the first major test for Acting President Choi Sang-mok as the country faces political turmoil.
Acting President Choi, who took office just on Friday, is now facing a crisis as a deadly plane crash in Muan province has left many dead.
This tragedy is seen as a crucial moment for Choi as he orders government agencies to mobilize all available resources to rescue people at the crash site.
The recent political chaos in South Korea, with the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, has left the nation in unrest and uncertainty.
The situation escalated further when Han Duck-soo, the acting president following Yoon's removal, was also impeached for his refusal to appoint new judges to the Constitutional Court.
With Choi now in charge, concerns arise regarding the economy, defense, and his own position as the opposition threatens possible impeachment if he does not appoint the recommended judges to the Constitutional Court.
As South Korea navigates through this challenging time, the fate of the nation hangs in the balance with many uncertainties ahead.
