    An emergency travel warning has been issued for British tourists as tensions rise across Seoul, South Korea.

    The region, a tourist hotspot in Asia, remains in political instability, with large numbers of demonstrators taking to the streets following President Yoon's impeachment and subsequent arrest.

    The protests have become more intense, with Yoon's supporters and opponents holding counter-demonstrations.

    Major protest sites in Seoul include the Gwanghwamun area, where large crowds gather to express their dissent.

    Another focus for demonstrators is the Constitutional Court in the Anguo district. Additionally, protests were reported near the Seoul Western District Court in Gongdeok City and the National Assembly Building in Yeouido.

    These events have spread to different areas of the city at different times, leading to multiple hotspots of protests.

    Given the scale of the protests, security officials warned the public to remain vigilant and avoid participating in large gatherings across the capital.

    The Department for Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development said: “We are aware of the rising political tensions in South Korea.

    “In the wake of President Yoon's impeachment and arrest, large-scale demonstrations are likely to continue.''

    Officials also stressed the importance of following local guidance as protests continue to unfold in multiple locations in Seoul.

    Foreign nationals entering the country are also advised to research their destination and purchase appropriate travel insurance.

    The FCDO continued: “Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in the event of an emergency.”

    Britons are being asked to be careful with their belongings in crowded areas and areas visited by foreigners.
