Protest demanding the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-Yeol, Apr 6, 2024 : People attend a rally demanding the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-Yeol in Seoul, South Korea. The photo of green onions on a placard makes a parody of Yoon who aroused anger by finding the price tag of 875 won ($0.65) for a bunch of green onions a "reasonable price" at a grocery store in March. The 875 won ($0.65) was a temporary discount price offered due to a government subsidy and the average retail prices of green onions was about 3,000 to 4,000 won ($2.2 to 2.9) for weeks, which was some of the highest levels over the years. The prices of foods and daily necessities are surging rapidly in Korea, local media reported. Pickets read,"Sharp price rise. Bankrupt livelihoods of the public. Let's put Yoon Suk-Yeol to rout!" and "It's time for us to vote. Let's win the April 10 Parliament Election by a landslide to impeach Yoon!". The placard reads, "Sharp price rise. Bankrupt livelihoods of the public. Let's put Yoon Suk-Yeol to rout!". (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO)
