An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows a large crowd of protestors in South Korea who gathered last week to demand the resignation of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Verdict: False

The image originates from December 2016.

Fact Check: 

Law enforcement is considering insurrection charges for Yoon and went to his presidential compound to search it after he declared martial law last week, according to the New York Times. Police officers searched his office on Wednesday to try to collect evidence and he is not allowed to leave the country, the outlet reported.

A Facebook post purports to show a large crowd gathered to demand Yoon resign. The shows an image of a sizable crowd in a city at night.

“Today on the streets of South Korea as they marched the streets toward the presidential palace to demand the resignation of President Yoon Suk-yeol,” the post reads. “The protests came after Yoon declared martial law and were linked to a failed military coup against the National Assembly. The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea has also called for Yoon to resign immediately.”

This image is miscaptioned, however. It was posted in December 2016 by radio network Voice of America with the caption, “Protesters occupy major streets in the city center for a rally against South Korean President Park Geun-hye in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016.”

This protest, in particular, came after the South Korean National Assembly announced that the vote to impeach Park had been postponed until days later on December 9, the outlet reported. (RELATED: Image Claiming To Show South Korean Forces Is Old)

The image was also posted on Getty Images during the same time. Getty’s caption also dates the image as 2016 and states it was a demonstration against then-South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
