Interior minister suspended from his duties

Interior and Safety Minister Lee Sang-min leaves his residence in Seoul on Feb. 9, 2023, one day after parliament passed a motion calling for him to be impeached to hold him responsible for the government's allegedly bungled response to the Oct. 29, 2022, crowd crush that killed 159 people in the capital's Itaewon district. Lee has been suspended from his duties as a result until the Constitutional Court decides whether to endorse or reject the motion. (Yonhap)
