[South Korea] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 10 April 2025, both anti- and pro-former President Yoon Suk-yeol groups held a press conference and picketed near the presidential residence (Seoul City - Yongsan). About 50 participants from the National Sovereignty Party gathered near the residence and denounced Yoon's continued presence at the official residence as an 'unauthorized occupation,' criticizing him for engaging in political activity after his impeachment. They demanded the immediate arrest and investigation of Yoon and his wife in relation to corruption allegations. Meanwhile, about 1,000 supporters, including Free University members, marched from Itaewon Station to the residence, chanting Yoon's name and calling for his reinstatement.
