South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Arrested

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested after a weeks-long standoff with authorities, becoming the first sitting president in the country's history to be detained. His arrest follows a failed attempt to impose martial law on December 3, which resulted in his impeachment by parliament on December 14 due to allegations of insurrection and abuse of office. The arrest was executed by anti-corruption investigators supported by police, following a previous failed attempt that faced resistance from Yoon's security detail. As political turmoil deepens, the Constitutional Court is deliberating Yoon's impeachment and its implications for South Korea's governance. Yoon described his decision to comply with the arrest as a means to prevent bloodshed, despite claiming the process was illegal. The situation underscores a significant crisis in South Korea, raising concerns about the integrity of its democratic institutions.
