Candles and cheering sticks waved by citizens who filled the front of the National Assembly building form colorful waves.

The rally has been held all week, but citizens have not stopped calling for "President Yoon's immediate resignation."Impeach the

" Yoon Suk Yeol! Impeach Yoon Suk Yeol!"

Citizens who marched 900m to the People's Power Party urged the ruling party to vote in favor of impeachment.

The protesters of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which began in front of Seoul City Hall, headed to the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, where they once confronted the police and had a physical fight.

I originally planned to join the rally in front of the National Assembly, but I changed my route after hearing President Yoon's public statement.

Conservative groups also held a rally near Seoul City Hall against the impeachment of President Yoon, but there was no conflict between the two sides.

Candlelight vigils and conservative groups plan to continue their pro- and anti-impeachment rallies, respectively, until the voting on the impeachment bill is held on the 14th.
