Supporters and opponents of President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment held massive rallies across the nation on Saturday, three days ahead of the final hearing for Yoon's impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court.
A group of protesters led by far-right pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon gathered in the Gwanghwamun area in Central Seoul on Saturday afternoon to oppose Yoon's impeachment.
According to the police's unofficial estimate, about 30-thousand people gathered for the rally as of 4 p.m.
"Save Korea," another conservative Christian group, held a rally opposing Yoon's impeachment at around noon Saturday near the National Assembly.
Supporters of Yoon's impeachment also held rallies at multiple locations in Seoul, calling for the court's swift decision to impeach Yoon.
About nine thousand people are estimated to have participated in a rally organized by the main opposition Democratic Party near the Constitutional Court.
Similar rallies were held across the nation, including in Daejeon, Daegu and Changwon.
