Growing Civil Unrest in South Korea

Pressure mounts on South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol as mass protests erupt across the nation, primarily calling for his impeachment. These demonstrations are prominently staged outside the National Assembly, capturing significant public attention and concern.

Catalyst for the Protests

The protests were largely triggered by President Yoon's controversial attempt to impose martial law aimed at quelling alleged pro-North Korean sentiments within the government. This attempted power grab, which was rapidly rejected by lawmakers, sparked chaos and violent confrontations with law enforcement. Notably, this turmoil reached a point where hundreds of troops reportedly surged into the assembly building through broken windows.
