Presidential office denies flight speculations on Yoon

So if the decision is 'removal', it cannot but be accepted,

Yoon Kab-keun, the lawyer for Yoon, told a news conference, when asked if Yoon would accept whatever the outcome of trial was

Witnessing their resilience against the wind and cold, I am confident that President Yoon Suk Yeol will return, and we will prevail,

Lee said

We'll do our best to accomplish our goal by thoroughly preparing this time with great determination that the second warrant execution will be the last,

Oh told a parliamentary committee

(I) have heard the president is currently staying at the official residence,

a presidential official with knowledge of the matter told Yonhap News Agency by phone, without providing further details

We cannot specially disclose President Yoon's location,

a police official told Yonhap News Agency

We're thinking about various possibilities."

When asked if Yoon could have fled, he answered

Arrest Lee Jae-myung, ... We oppose impeachment."

Holding red light sticks and waving the Korean and American flags, the supporters chanted ... referring to the opposition leader,

Korea has a long history of military governments and my immediate reaction was that we were going to experience what people in the past had been through,

she told DW

I was abroad when Yoon declared martial law, but my wife and her friends immediately went out to protests to support his vision for the country,

said Song Young-Chae, an academic from Seoul

Of course I was concerned, like everyone I know was concerned, but I believed in the system that South Korea has built, I believe in democracy and the power of ordinary people,

she told DW

I was born during the Park Chung-hee dictatorship. I was actually born in 1979, the year he was assassinated, and we grew up being taught about those times. At no time during this present situation did I feel that South Korea was slipping back into a dictatorship or that we were losing control to the military,

said Lee Eunkoo, joint founder of an NGO that assists North Korean defectors to settle in the South

We just want the situation to be resolved,

Kim said

I recently returned to South Korea, and because I am worried about what will happen if the opposition takes power, I am also planning to join the protests in order to protect the freedom of this country,

he told DW

When I first heard that Yoon had declared martial law, I was scared,

said Kim Hyun-jung, a 46-year-old content developer who lives in Gangwon Province, east of Seoul

And it may take some time for everything to be sorted out, but I know our system is resilient, that it will not collapse and that we are not going back to a dictatorship,

she added

Our daily lives and routine have not been affected by what has happened, but I feel that more people really want to express their feelings and that is why they are going out and demonstrating in support of our president,

he said

The situation had not been resolved by the time I went to bed, but when I woke up in the morning the martial law decree had been reversed and the situation had stabilized,

she said

I think people are a little uncomfortable and there is a lot of talk about impeachment, court cases and elections, but people are not scared,

she said

People are suffering in the severe cold and government officials must be experiencing significant internal conflict,

he said, referencing the daily protests by both Yoon’s critics and supporters outside his residence

Please consider this as us taking a step back based on goodwill,

he added
