It's time for the Constitutional Court, as the impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is accused of being the leader of the "insurrection," passed the plenary session of the National Assembly over the weekend.
Citizens who filled the front of the National Assembly are moving to Jongno and holding candles, saying the Constitutional Court should make a "dismissal" decision.

It was a weekday evening, but the candle burned again.
Citizens gathered in front of Bosingak, about 1km away from the Constitutional Court, raised their voices, asking for the dismissal of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Citizens who filled the streets regardless of the cold weather shout slogans together and strengthen their will.

Not only young people but also older generations visited the rally site with sparkling light sticks.
Sometimes there are songs that I don't know well, but I still try to cheerfully shake the light stick.

The "Yoon Suk Yeol Immediate Resignation and Emergency Action for Major Social Reform," which brings together the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and civil society, has announced that it will hold another large-scale rally on Saturday.
After the rally in front of Bosingak, citizens marched close to the Constitutional Court, calling for the immediate dismissal of the president.
Conservative groups held counter rallies in Gwanghwamun and the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, saying the impeachment prosecution against President Yoon itself was invalid.
It is expected to take months until the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial is over, and until then, voices calling for dismissal and dismissal are expected to continue.
