Parliament passes motion for interior minister's impeachment

National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo bangs the gavel to pass a motion to impeach Interior and Safety Minister Lee Sang-min during a plenary session at the National Assembly in Seoul on Feb. 8, 2023. The main opposition Democratic Party and two minor parties introduced the impeachment motion earlier this week to hold Lee responsible over the government's allegedly bungled response to the Oct. 29, 2022, crowd crush that killed 159 people in the capital's Itaewon district.
