Supporters and critics of South Korea's impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol took to the streets Saturday with separate protests, following the impeachment of acting President Han Duck-soo.

The vote by South Korea’s parliament to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol on Saturday marked the culmination of a stunning political showdown sparked by his shock decision to impose martial law on the vibrant democratic country.

President Yoon Suk Yeol escaped impeachment on Saturday, as the National Assembly failed to pass the motion to oust him over his short-lived martial law, which sent shockwaves through Korea and triggered massive street protests.
