Gasps of frustration. Shouts of rage. Tears. Many of the tens of thousands of protesters outside South Korea's parliament were overcome with emotion Saturday, as a presidential impeachment motion looked set to fail.
Nearly 150,000 people were estimated by police to have filled the streets around the National Assembly on Saturday, demanding that lawmakers impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol for his shocking imposition of martial law four days earlier, which plunged democratic South Korea into turmoil.
