The situation caused mass protests on the streets of the capital. Both the president’s supporters and his opponents hold demonstrations despite the harsh weather conditions. The areas around the presidential residence became the epicenter of the confrontation, creating significant tension in society.

The warrant, issued for the second time, shows the seriousness of the charges against Yun, among which the most high-profile is sedition. This puts the country in front of another test of its democratic institutions and ability to resolve internal conflicts in the legal field.

Observers note that the further development of events can have a significant impact not only on the political landscape of South Korea, but also on its international image.
