Seoul residents are divided after the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, as a result of the second vote on Saturday night by the opposition-led parliament over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law, a move that had shocked the nation.

Analysts have warned that Yoon's impeachment is unlikely to end the political turmoil.
While many citizens claim they are glad and can sleep soundly at night, some oppose this decision and believe in the innocence of the president, leaving Seoul divided.

South Korean president was impeached after a decision to impose a martial law, which was criticised by the opposition. After roughly two weeks of political crisis, Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment made him the the second conservative president in a row to be impeached Yoon survived a first impeachment vote last weekend, when his party largely boycotted the vote, depriving parliament of a quorum. The political turmoil in South Korea sparked several anti and pro-president protests.
