SEOUL (The Korea Herald/ANN): 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.

On March 16, members of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea joined people rallying for Mr Yoon’s impeachment to march some 8.7km from the National Assembly in Yeouido of western Seoul to near Gwanghwamun, crossing the Han River via Mapo Bridge.
