South Korean people continued their protests on Saturday, demanding the removal of President Yoon Suk-yeol following a historic arrest warrant issued against him earlier in the week.
Despite chilly weather, a large crowd of locals gathered in the streets of Daegu, a metropolitan city in the country's southeast, chanting and calling on the Constitutional Court to pass the impeachment case of Yoon Suk-yeol.
The rally comes amid a deepening political crisis as tensions escalate between government authorities and those pushing for Yoon's impeachment.
On Friday, investigators from South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) left the presidential residence after failing to arrest the impeached president.
The Seoul court-issued arrest warrant, marking the first of its kind against a sitting president in modern South Korean history, remained unenforced due to continued confrontations.
