Recall, riots broke out in Seoul after the arrest of the ousted president. After the Western District Court of Seoul issued a warrant for the arrest of ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, his supporters organized riots. More than 40,000 people gathered outside the courthouse. They chanted the name of the head of state and waved South Korean and U.S. flags. After Yoon Suk Yeol was taken away from the courthouse, protesters began smashing investigators’ cars, and some stormed the courthouse and threw chairs, trash and other objects at police officers.
