SEOUL, Dec 31 (Reuters) - South Korean Acting President Choi Sang-mok said on Tuesday he will appoint two Constitutional Court justices immediately, and appoint a third justice when ruling and opposition parties agree.

Choi, the country's finance minister, became acting leader on Friday night after the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who had been acting president since Yoon was impeached and suspended from power on Dec. 14 following his attempt to impose martial law on Dec. 3.
