Reactions Around President Yoon Seok-yeol’s Residence After Impeachment

After President Yoon Seok-yeol was impeached, a banner reading "Congratulations on President Yoon Seok-yeol's return to duty! Thank you for your hard work!" was hung along the road near Acro Vista in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, where his residence is located.

The weather-beaten banner caught the attention of passing citizens. Pedestrians waiting at the crosswalk pointed at the banner and discussed it, with some looking towards the Acro Vista building and saying things like, "He lives here," and "He'll be back."

However, the responses from residents within the Acro Vista complex were different. A middle-aged female resident irritably responded to a reporter's question, saying, "Why are you asking that? The reporters are already here."

Some residents were concerned about a situation similar to when YouTubers and protesters gathered during the early days of President Yoon's residence and commute from here.

Resident A sighed and said, "From the perspective of the residents, there's nothing good about him coming back." Mr. Lee, a 70-year-old man present, frowned and added, "What good will it do if this place keeps being mentioned?"

Mr. B, who has worked as a delivery driver in the Seocho-dong area for four years, noted, "I know that President Yoon lived here. I remember YouTubers being around." Until 1 PM that day, there were no police or security personnel stationed around Acro Vista. Security guards requested the reporters to refrain from covering within the complex.

Acro Vista is located just 400 meters from the Seoul Central District Court, where President Yoon is facing criminal charges for being an instigator of insurrection. This geographical proximity seems to draw even more interest.
