ROK President Impeached by Parliament

[Navarro]

"South Korea's parliament voted on Friday to impeach President Park Geun-hye ... The Constitutional Court will decide whether to uphold the motion and remove Park from office or reject it and reinstate her. The prime minister will be acting president until the court delivers a ruling."

Fun.

This sounds somewhat different from how impeachment works in the United States. So does this mean that she is gone unless the Court reinstates her?

Exactly. Unless the court overturns the impeachment, Park's done. Park has been removed from power, and only the court can change that. They have 180 days to do so.
