On December 24, 2024, thousands of protesters gathered in Seoul, South Korea, amidst a political crisis involving impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. The National Assembly impeached Yoon on December 14, and his suspension from duty is pending a trial by the Constitutional Court. Demonstrations erupted, with factions both demanding Yoon’s arrest for alleged insurrection and those opposing it. This unrest stems from Yoon’s failed attempt to declare martial law, which led to chaos in the nation. Heavy snowfall impacted the protests, and the situation escalated with a failed attempt by authorities to execute an arrest warrant against Yoon.
