Vast protests against South Korea’s impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol have rocked the capital Seoul following his short-lived martial law declaration in December. But an image appearing to show a protest banner with an anti-Yoon message alongside a call for the arrest of his chief rival, opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, is manipulated. Multiple news reports featured the original picture, which showed a banner with a different message.<\/h3>\n

“The expression may be rough but this is the next task for the people. This is what our people and judicial system will do,” read a Korean-language Facebook<\/a> post shared on December 15, 2024.<\/p>\n

The post featured an image that appeared to show a protest banner that read, “Impeach the ringleader of insurrection Yoon Suk Yeol. Arrest a four-time convict, Lee Jae-myung.”<\/p>\n
