Jubilant Citizens Triumph in Historic ‘People’s Victory’ Over President Yoon Suk Yeol’s Impeachment
Seoul witnessed a wave of jubilation and tears as citizens celebrated the National Assembly’s decision to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his controversial martial law declaration. The move was hailed as a “people’s victory” by demonstrators who braved the December chill. Hundreds of thousands gathered near the Assembly in Seoul and across major cities, including Daegu, a conservative stronghold, where 30,000 people cheered upon hearing the impeachment passed with 204 out of 300 votes. Some support came from members of Yoon’s own People Power Party, signaling widespread discontent.
In Daegu, participants expressed relief, viewing the decision as inevitable given the massive turnout. Meanwhile, in Jeonju, 10,000 citizens celebrated with chants of “Candlelit citizens achieved a victory.” A university student in Changwon was emotional, expressing hope for a united and hopeful future. The scene near the National Assembly was vibrant, with crowds waving K-pop cheering sticks and chanting “We have won,” underscoring the nation’s commitment to democracy.
