    I can’t find a list of the workers they impeached but it looks like he was stacking the government with New Right folks who wanted to take Korea back to 1940 when it was a part of the Japanese Empire. Seems like a wild take. The impeachments came after a major change in the parliamentary makeup shifted power away from him drastically.
