As the chief justice announced the verdict, supporters of the impeachment celebrated with shouts of joy, tears, and wrapped each other in hugs. “It’s been so hard, but now my heart is relieved,” expressed Kim Ji-seon, one of many who brought family to witness this monumental decision, hoping for a brighter future for their country.Contrastingly, near Yoon's residence, a rally of his supporters met the news with disappointment, booing and cursing in disbelief. The atmosphere reflects a divided nation as the outcome of Yoon’s presidency hangs in the balance, leaving many to question what comes next in the wake of this political upheaval.
