Since Yoon Suk Yeol’s abrupt enactment of martial law in December last year, which has caused the country’s worst political crisis in a generation, conflicts have been great in South Korea.
His passage of martial law and its aftermath have caused serious social rifts between liberals and conservatives and place pressure on institutions.
Yoon is expected to decide in the coming weeks whether to support his impeachment or completely delegate him from his authority. He will also face a criminal trial on charges of insurrection.
Authorities have been making preparations for the potential conflicts, with both Yoon’s followers and his opponents scheduled to stage significant rallies when the jury decides.
Choi Sang-mok, South Korea’s operating leader, called for the public to acknowledge and honor the judge’s decision on Tuesday.
After his incarceration was extended, lots of Yoon followers stormed a court building in January, destroying panels and other items in an assault the speaking president referred to as “unimaginable.”
