Rally calls for suspended president's removal
January 03, 2025
|The Guardian Weekly
Hundreds of thousands of South Koreans flooded central Seoul last Saturday in the latest wave of protests demanding the removal of the country's suspended president, Yoon Suk Yeol, a day after parliament voted to impeach his acting replacement.
Organisers claimed that more than 500,000 people participated in the rally, which took place amid a large police presence.
The demonstrations, which have grown steadily since Yoon's failed declaration of martial law on 3 December, transformed the historic Gwanghwamun area.
"Imprison Yoon Suk Yeol," protesters chanted as they marched from Gyeongbokgung Palace towards the Myeongdong shopping district, many singing to K-pop music blasting from speaker trucks in what has become a characteristic mix of celebration and serious political messaging.
Lawmakers voted last Friday to impeach the acting president, Han Duck-soo, marking a deepening of South Korea's political and constitutional crisis, stemming from Han's refusal to appoint three judges to the constitutional court - the body that must decide Yoon's fate.
