Support for Ousted President
Thousands of supporters rally in Seoul to back ousted President Yoon Suk-yeol. The constitutional court ruled on Friday that Yoon should be removed from office after declaring a brief military emergency in December to sideline the opposition-controlled parliament.
While opponents celebrate the ruling, Yoon's followers express anger. A 26-year-old protester stated, 'The constitutional court's ruling has brought an end to our democratic freedom.'
Yoon's departure necessitates new elections, likely to take place in early June, according to South Korean media.
