South Korean parliament impeaches President Roh
SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korean parliament voted Friday to remove President Roh Moo-hyun from office on illegal electioneering and incompetence charges, in the country's first presidential impeachment bid.
Roh's presidential powers will be suspended as the matter is referred to the Constitutional Court for final approval to unseat the leader.
The impeachment passed by a vote of 193 to 2.

Some pics over at Yahoo News Photos of the events leading up to the impeachment vote.
South Korean lawmakers from the Uri Party (without coats), who back President Roh Moo-hyun, scuffle with lawmakers from opposition parties (in jackets) as the latter attempt to occupy the seat of the speaker at parliament in Seoul, March 12, 2004. Opposition parliamentarians sought unsuccessfully to storm the occupied speaker's podium early Friday to try to ensure they could hold an unprecedented vote on impeaching South Korean President Roh, local media said.

Protesters surround a South Korean man after a self-immolation attempt during a rally supporting President Roh Moo-hyun in front of parliament March 11, 2004. Some 1,000 protesters were holding a rally supporting Roh who declined on Thursday to apologize for election campaign remarks that prompted his opponents to try to impeach him. The man survived, witnesses said. REUTERS/You Sung-Ho

Which south korean party is more Pro U.S. ??? Roh & Co. are friendlier toward North Korea, probably less friendly toward the U.S.
I don't remember specifics.
