I live in South Korea. In 2016, a lot of members in Park's party voted to impeach the president Park. (In fact, impeachment couldn't have passed without such.) It's pretty simple really. Anyone from competitive seat will do pretty much anything if they are 100% sure they won't be re-elected otherwise.

ROK doesn't quite compare, being a democracy. In fact I was quite surprised to see president Park impeached and saw it as a sign of a functional demicracy. Failing to impeach her would have probably ended in riots.
