Yoon Suk Yeol Detained Amid Political Crisis

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has refused to answer questions from investigators for a second consecutive day, as authorities approach a deadline to either release him or obtain an extension of his detention. Yoon's earlier attempt to impose martial law on December 3, which was swiftly overturned by lawmakers, has plunged the country into its worst political crisis in decades. Investigators are expected to seek a court order to extend his detention for up to 20 days, as they probe potential charges of insurrection. Yoon's legal team has challenged the legality of his arrest, and his refusal to cooperate has raised significant concerns about the investigation's legitimacy. Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court is evaluating Yoon's impeachment, with a ruling that could permanently remove him from office. As public sentiment remains largely against Yoon, the political landscape in South Korea continues to shift dramatically amidst these developments.
