Han, who was impeached on Friday, had taken over as acting president from Yoon, impeached on Dec. 14. Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok now becomes acting president under the law.
Also on Friday, the court held its first hearing in a case to decide whether to reinstate Yoon or remove him permanently from power.
The ruling conservative People Power Party filed a court injunction after the vote to impeach Han, saying a simple majority was not sufficient to impeach an acting president.
After being impeached on Dec. 14, Yoon's presidential powers were suspended but he remains in office, retaining his immunity from most charges except insurrection or treason.
