In Seoul, there have been ongoing protests in front of the home of Moon Hyung-bae, the Acting Chief Justice of South Korea's Constitutional Court. The protesters, who are supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol, are hoping to sway the court's decision on Yoon's impeachment. On Tuesday morning, approximately 30 supporters gathered outside an apartment complex in central Seoul's Jongno district, voicing their disapproval of Moon and calling for his resignation and the nullification of Yoon's impeachment.
Some of the protesters even held up signs that accused Moon of turning a blind eye to the sharing of pornography in an Internet cafe. The police are currently investigating these allegations. Yoon's supporters and conservative lawmakers have accused Moon of having close ties to Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung and a Left-leaning association of judges. They believe that Moon's judgment will not be in favor of the impeached President, as reported by Yonhap news agency.
The noise from the protests has caused disturbance to the residents of the apartment complex. One of the residents, who is also an official of the apartment management office, came out with a sign that read, "Moon Hyung-bae is not a resident here. No one has seen him." The official also emphasized that the residents have the right to live peacefully and gatherings around the apartment complex should be avoided.
In a separate incident, the presidential office has requested the police to investigate two YouTubers who uploaded and aired a deepfake video of President Yoon and First Lady Kim Keon Hee. The office has filed a complaint against the YouTubers, accusing them of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes. This comes after the National Assembly voted to impeach Yoon following his shocking declaration of martial law on December 3. Yoon had been arrested after being indicted on charges of leading an insurrection and sending military troops to the National Assembly to prevent lawmakers from voting against the martial law declaration.
Overall, the situation in South Korea remains tense as supporters of President Yoon continue to protest and voice their disapproval of Moon Hyung-bae and the ongoing trials. On the other hand, the government is taking action against those who are spreading false information and violating the law. As the country awaits the court's decision, it is clear that the outcome will have a significant impact on the political landscape of South Korea.
