Thousands of people demonstrate for or against President Yoon
Thousands of South Koreans braved a snowstorm to demonstrate in support or opposition to President Yoon Suk Yeol, suspended for a failed attempt to enforce martial law and for resisting arrest a day before his term expired.
Yoon threw the country into political chaos last month with the bungled declaration of martial law and has since been holed up in the presidential residence, surrounded by hundreds of loyal security officers. An attempt to arrest him by investigators on Friday failed when a six-hour standoff with his presidential security service ended over security fears, with his supporters also camping outside.
Thousands of people flocked to his residence again today, despite the heavy snowfall in the capital: opponents took to the streets calling for the annulment of the impeachment.
