By Heekyong Yang and Josh Smith SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's acting president, Han Duck-soo, moved on Sunday to reassure the country's allies and calm financial markets a day after President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached and suspended from his duties over a martial law attempt.

Impeached President said he will “never give up” and called for officials to maintain stability in government functions during what he described as a “temporary” pause of his presidency.

Thousands of protesters celebrated after the vote, as Yoon is suspended while the prime minister serves as acting president.
