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.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach and was indicted on criminal charges for declaring martial law last December, was cleared to be released from detention on Friday.

The ruling People Power Party (PPP) will accept whatever decision the Constitutional Court makes on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment trial, the party's floor leader said Sunday, outlining the party's official stance ahead of the ruling.

South Korea’s ruling People Power Party (PPP) floor leader Kweon Seong-dong reaffirmed on the 16th that the party’s official stance is to accept the Constitutional Court’s ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The Constitutional Court is expected to decide in the coming days whether to oust Yoon in South Korea’s worst political crisis in decades.
