The downfall of conservative South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, impeached and stripped of his powers after his shock martial law decree early last month, is suddenly looking less certain.

Crowds of people wrapped up against the bitter January cold clutch signs emblazoned with the slogan “Stop the Steal,” wave US flags, and don red MAGA-like hats.

Lawyers for impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol are denouncing efforts to detain him over his short-lived imposition of martial law, while the country's acting leader expressed concern over a possible clash between law enforcement agents and presidential security personnel.

South Korea’s ruling party has blamed ‘Chinese people’ for Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment, a move critics warn could strain relations with Beijing and deepen domestic divides, according to a report

South Korea's opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo, further deepening the country's political crisis.

The impeachment of South Korea’s acting President Han Duck-soo has plunged the country into further political turmoil, coming less than two weeks after lawmakers impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol remained defiantly inside his residence resisting arrest for a third day on Thursday, after vowing to "fight" authorities seeking to question him over his failed martial law bid.

Critics of the presidential security service call it a relic from the days of South Korea's strongman leaders.

South Korea’s impeached leader is barricaded in his Seoul residence, protected by a blockade of buses, barbed wire, crowds of supporters and his own armed security guards. The question now is whether investigators can arrest him without a violent confrontation.
