JUST IN — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces second impeachment vote as thousands protest in Seoul. Follow live
Saturday, 14 December 2024 () Police estimated at least 200,000 people filled the streets of Seoul ahead of the vote. It is the second such attempt to impeach Yoon, after a previous motion failed to garner support from ruling party lawmakers.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol vows to fight "until the very last minute", defending his shock decision last week to declare martial law and deploy troops to the country's parliament. He also denounces the opposition as pushing the country into a "national paralysis."
In the heart of Seoul, thousands of South Koreans gathered in the snow to protest for and against the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. With his arrest warrant expiring soon, the country faces a high-stakes political crisis. Yoon's attempt to declare martial law in December 2023 triggered political chaos, making him the first sitting president to face potential arrest. Protests, clashes with police, and divided opinions showcase the nation's deep political divide. Watch the video to understand the magnitude of this political standoff and what comes next for South Korea.
