Amid the ongoing impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol, Seoul witnessed massive protests for and against his removal, as the Constitutional Court deliberates his fate. Yoon, suspended after a controversial martial law decree, faces intense scrutiny and a divided public opinion, with a recent poll indicating 58% support for his dismissal. The political atmosphere is charged, with supporters arguing the impeachment is unlawful, while dissenters express fatigue over unresolved crises. The court's decision, expected by June, will determine the direction of South Korea's political landscape.
Hundreds of thousands of South Koreans rallied for and against impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol as the country's Constitutional Court weighs whether to dismiss him.
If he is removed, there will be an election to replace him within two months; the ongoing delays have led to a growing sense of scepticism.
Yoon's supporters, including right-wing YouTubers and religious figures, claim that his impeachment trial is unlawful and insist the court must acknowledge their protests.
A Gallup Korea poll earlier this month showed 58 percent supported Yoon's removal, reflecting the divided sentiments among the populace regarding his leadership.
