Snow falls on the small group of protesters still huddled outside South Korea’s presidential compound. The weather has thinned the crowds that numbered in the tens of thousands just weeks ago, but there are still those braving the cold to call for President Yoon Suk Yeol’s arrest.

Others are there to defend Yoon, who has been holed up in the presidential palace with a private army restricting authorities from detaining him after a failed martial law declaration in December. They have resurrected the “stop the steal” slogan adopted by Donald Trump supporters after he lost the 2020 election.
