Thousands of protesters gathered outside South Korea's National Assembly in Seoul on December 14, 2024, as lawmakers prepared for a second vote on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol. Yoon narrowly survived a previous impeachment attempt last weekend, but calls for his ouster have intensified after he attempted to impose martial law. Opposition lawmakers have pledged to hold weekly impeachment votes until Yoon is removed. A key challenge for the motion is gaining support from eight ruling party members. Yoon and his allies are under investigation for insurrection, with travel bans imposed on several of them.
