Supporters and opponents of President Yoon Suk Yeol took to the streets across Seoul over the weekend in a show of political force, as speculation grows that a ruling on his impeachment trial is imminent.

South Koreans gathered in huge numbers in the capital Seoul on Saturday to support or oppose impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol before a court decides whether his short-lived declaration of martial law disqualifies him from office.

Protests intensified over the weekend as the Constitutional Court is likely to hand down its verdict on suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment this week.
