Seoul (South Korea), Apr 4 (LaPresse) – At a demonstration against Yoon Suk Yoon near the old royal palace overlooking downtown Seoul, people burst into tears and danced when the verdict dismissing him was announced. Two women cried while hugging each other and an elderly man next to them leapt to his feet shouting with joy. The crowd then started marching through the streets of Seoul. Some people were dressed in cute blue bear costumes, a protest mascot using the colours of the opposition. Outside Yoon's official residence, however, thousands of his supporters cried and shouted at the news of the verdict projected on a big screen. They waved South Korean and US flags and chanted slogans. ‘Anyone who accepts this ruling and prepares for an early presidential election is our enemy,’ one protest leader shouted from the stage.
