South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Arrested

South Korean authorities arrested impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on January 15, marking the first time a sitting president has been detained in the nation's history. Yoon faces insurrection charges related to his controversial martial law declaration on December 3, which led to widespread political chaos. He initially resisted arrest, leading to a dramatic standoff with police, but later agreed to questioning to prevent violence. His lawyers argue that the investigation is illegal and intended to humiliate him. The Constitutional Court is currently deliberating whether to uphold Yoon's impeachment, a decision that must be made within 180 days. The situation reflects a significant political turmoil in South Korea, amidst protests and heightened tensions surrounding the presidency.
