South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from jail after 52 days during an insurrection trial following his declaration of martial law. The Seoul Central District Court found a procedural error in his detention. While this ruling does not affect his impeachment or criminal trial, it has energized Yoon's supporters, who are rallying for his reinstatement. Meanwhile, public opinion largely favors Yoon's removal. As tensions rise, authorities are preparing for potential unrest outside the constitutional court ahead of its verdict on Yoon's fate.
Yoon's supporters broke out in cheers, waving the South Korean flag, chanting "Open the prison gates" and holding signs reading, "Immediately cancel illegal detentions."
Legal experts say Yoon's release has no impact on his criminal case or impeachment trial, with a ruling from the constitutional court due soon.
