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 (L) reads,"Military coup (by) Roh Tae-Woo and Chun Doo-Hwan (in 1980). Coup (by) prosecutors Han Dong-Hoon and Yoon Suk-Yeol. The Seoul Spring 2 in 2024". Other pickets read, "Let's impeach Yoon Suk-Yeol who is a scum and doomed regime" (C) and "We denounce the prosecution's government of Yoon Suk-Yeol!" (R). (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO)
