π️ Politics | President Yoon Suk-yeol's Impeachment Verdict to Be Announced on April 4
President Yoon Suk-yeol, the respondent in the impeachment trial
President Yoon’s presidential duties were suspended in December 2024 after the National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against him. The Constitutional Court of Korea has announced that the final verdict will be given on April 4, 2025.
Many citizens have been holding protests in places like Gwanghwamun and the National Assembly to express their political opinions. Some have criticized the Constitutional Court for delaying the verdict. As the ruling could significantly shift the political landscape, public attention is high.

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) league officially began its 2025 season on March 22! Each year, ten teams participate, and the season continues until fall. This year, SSG Landers and LG Twins are considered strong contenders for the championship.
Baseball is one of the most popular sports in Korea. The cheer culture—singing team songs, waving cheering sticks, and performing with cheerleaders—is unique and exciting.
