Political Turmoil Arises In South Korea Following President Yoon's Failed Attempt To Declare Martial Law
Progressive Party National Assembly Member Yoon Jong-oh delivers a speech calling for the immediate arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol. Progressive Party Chairperson Kim Jae-yeon, fellow National Assembly Member Jung Hye-kyung, and about 30 party members join him in a rally near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, Seoul, South Korea, on December 12, 2024, demanding the President's impeachment and urgent detention. The protesters claim that President Yoon's morning address to the nation amounts to an admission of being the mastermind of a rebellion and call for his immediate arrest. Police prevent the group from advancing within several hundred meters of the residence. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
