South Korea's top court has brought the country's Prime Minister back into office, but President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment ruling is still up in the air, with speculation that the ruling may not be made until April.

We are joined by Professor Song Se-ryun.

Good morning.

1. I'd like to recap Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's impeachment ruling with you first.

2. And how likely is it that Han will appoint the opposition-recommended Constitutional Court Justice candidate Ma Eun-hyuk as the ninth justice?

3. What happens if Han does appoint Ma?

4. Two of the 8 justices’ terms end on April 18th. If we pass that deadline, what happens to the ruling for President Yoon’s impeachment?

5. Patience is running out with the court yet to announce a ruling date for President Yoon.

6. President Yoon Suk Yeol’s insurrection trial is also ongoing, with the Seoul Central District Court having held the second preparatory hearing yesterday.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight with us this morning.
