Thousands of Seoul residents took to the streets to protest against the Constitutional Court's decision to uphold the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol. On Saturday, mass protests occurred in Seoul following the Constitutional Court's decision to uphold the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

South Korea's ousted leader Yoon Suk Yeol argued that his brief martial law declaration late last year was "not a coup d’etat" as he appeared in court on Monday for the start of a criminal trial over charges that he led an insurrection.

Constitutional Court unanimously ruled to remove President Yoon Suk-yeol over his bungled martial law declaration.
