On the morning of April 4, the Constitutional Court upheld Yoon’s impeachment. Acting Chief Justice Moon Hyung-bae declared, “President Yoon Suk-yeol is hereby dismissed.” The decision took immediate effect, officially removing Yoon from office 122 days after declaring martial law on December 3, 2024.

Joyful Reactions from Celebrities Supporting Impeachment

Actor Lee Dong-wook expressed relief via the fan platform Bubble, “Finally, spring has come. The winter was way too long. It was supposed to rain today, but the skies are clear. Go outside and enjoy your Friday night.” Previously, Lee Dong-wook had supported pro-impeachment rallies, sharing Girls’ Generation’s “Into the New World” with fans.

Singer Lee Seung-hwan, who previously performed at an anti-Yoon rally, shared his elation on Instagram, “I’ll have a drink today at Dream Factory (his agency). I usually avoid alcohol during concerts and my ENT doctor advised against it, but how could I not drink on the day I and my country survived?”

Actresses Shin So-yul and Jung Young-joo also joined the chorus. Shin posted a video of MBC’s breaking news on Yoon’s dismissal, captioned, “Congratulations, everyone. Let’s live honestly and diligently together from now on. Spring is here.” The news clip included the caption, “The people have ousted Yoon’s dictatorship.” Jung Young-joo shared a video watching the ruling, captioning it, “Hooray! Mansei. Not Japanese — just Jung Young-joo’s flavor of speech.” Actress Kim Gyu-ri posted a witty picture of “pa-myeon” (green onion ramen), playfully symbolizing “impeachment” (pa-myeon also sounds like “dismissal” in Korean).

Opposition from Yoon Supporters

Singer JK Kim Dong-wook, however, expressed bitterness. On Instagram, he wrote, “Never never never change. I used to laugh off predictions that Korea would collapse by 2060, but maybe it’ll happen sooner. I once believed things could change, but now I think the world may fall apart faster than expected.”

A known Yoon supporter, JK Kim Dong-wook had previously posted a photo of the Korean flag with the caption, “Protecting the president is protecting the country.” His public displeasure following Yoon’s dismissal drew attention.

Actor Choi Joon-yong also expressed heartbreak. On his YouTube channel’s community tab, he wrote, “It hurts, but thank you for awakening the people. You’ve suffered a lot.” He included a photo of Yoon’s official statement released after the ruling.

Unanimous Court Decision

The Constitutional Court’s decision to uphold the impeachment was unanimous — all eight justices agreed. The court stated, “The defendant’s unlawful conduct had grave and far-reaching consequences for the constitutional order. The benefit of defending the Constitution through dismissal far outweighs the national cost of removing a sitting president.”

On April 4, singer Kwon Eun-bi appeared on the YouTube channel “Workman”, where she teamed up with Jang Sung-kyu as a foreign car mechanic.

When asked about recent updates, Kwon Eun-bi said “I really wanted to be on ‘Workman’. I do have something to promote” before performing part of the choreography for her new song. With a bright smile, she added, “My new song is out, and I need to work hard.”

Jang Sung-kyu asked, “What’s the song?” Kwon Eun-bi replied, “‘Hello Stranger’. It means we’re inviting strangers into our world. Since it’s too early in the morning, I’ll sing it later.”

The two met their senior mechanic at the import car repair shop. He explained, “Today, we’ll be doing basic maintenance work. A car is usually the second most expensive asset a person owns. We have to make sure it’s well taken care of so people can drive safely.”

The production team shared, “The senior mechanic can guess a person’s car just by looking at their face.” The mechanic said, “Eun-bi’s activities are very dynamic and sporty. She seems very active. So she reminds me of a BMW M4.”

Jang Sung-kyu then asked, “What’s Eun-bi’s real car? Which brand is it from?” Kwon Eun-bi responded, “I’ve never publicly revealed my real car before, but… P… P…”, subtly confirming she drives a luxury sports car from Porsche.

Meanwhile, Kwon Eun-bi made headlines last year for purchasing a 2.4 billion won detached house located in Songjeong-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.
