Impeachment Proceedings Begin for South Korea's Yoon

South Korea is currently engulfed in a political crisis as impeachment proceedings against suspended President Yoon Suk-yeol have begun. Yoon, who has declared martial law and is under investigation for insurrection, has avoided arrest while holed up in his residence, prompting public protests and a standoff with security forces. The Corruption Investigation Office has issued warnings to the defense ministry and Presidential Security Service to cooperate in executing an arrest warrant, threatening legal repercussions for any obstruction. Yoon's supporters have formed a barricade around his residence, fearing his detention if he leaves for impeachment hearings. The Constitutional Court's decision on Yoon's political fate is pending, with oral arguments scheduled to begin soon. This unprecedented situation has raised significant concerns over the stability of South Korea's political landscape.
