Yoon leaves presidential residence 1 week after impeachment upheld

Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol today moved out of the presidential residence and into his private residence.

Releasing a message through his legal representatives, Yoon said, he will return to being an ordinary citizen and seek new ways to help the nation and its people.

The move comes precisely one week after the Constitutional Court ruled to uphold his impeachment.

The ruling strips him of all presidential benefits with the exception of some 40 security officials.

He also faces a criminal trial on charges of insurrection with a hearing set for Monday next week.
