TOKYO (Sputnik) – According to the Yonhap news agency, Han will also conduct negotiations via video linkup with all military headquarters.
Earlier in the day, the South Korean parliament voted 234-56 to impeach Park.
Political scandal around the president broke out in late October when media reported that Park allowed Choi Soon-sil, her friend and "shadow adviser," who held no official post, to edit her speeches thus letting her influence the country's policy. Moreover, Choi was suspected of pressuring South Korean big corporations and extorting money from them for her non-commercial funds.
