Protest demanding the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-Yeol, Jan 27, 2024 : South Koreans hold a protest demanding the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-Yeol in central Seoul, South Korea. Thousands of people participated in the rally and they insisted President Yoon is incompetent in national economy, defense and diplomacy. Participants demanded Kim Keon-Hee, wife of President Yoon, to accept investigation by a special prosecution as they insist the first lady has been manipulating state affairs. Kim came under fire after video footage was released in November 2023 of her receiving a Christian Dior bag, valued at around US$2,200 from a Korean American pastor in September 2022. A picket (front) reads, "(Kim Keon-Hee) got a Dior bag, then she get investigations by a special prosecution! Impeach Yoon Suk-Yeol who is going to war! We denounce the prosecution's government of Yoon Suk-Yeol!". (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO)
