The South Korean President - Park Guen-hye has made history again

The first time she made history was when she was elected as the #FirstFemalePresident of South Korea

And this second time is how she has become the #FirstSouthKoreanPresident to be IMPEACHED

The South Korean Constitutional Court sitting in Seoul has ruled in favour of the Parliament that impeached and suspended the President since December 2016 on the charges of corruption (she was accused of helping a friend win bribes from Samsung and other South Korean Conglomerates)

The ruling which came early today implies that the President is hereby impeached and finally removed from Office and so South Koreans shall be expected to elect a new President by May 9th 2017.
