Political Turmoil in South Korea: Yoon's Impeachment Crisis
South Korean politics faces turmoil as President Yoon Suk Yeol resists detention following his impeachment on charges of rebellion. Despite a warrant, his presidential security service barred investigators for hours. Yoon, who declared martial law due to opposition, may face formal arrest if detained, pending a court ruling.

South Korea's political landscape is in disarray as President Yoon Suk Yeol stands his ground amidst a highly charged impeachment process. The president's refusal to submit to investigators has heightened tension in an already chaotic political environment.
On Friday, South Korean anti-corruption investigators were blocked from entering Yoon's official residence for nearly six hours, as his security personnel intervened. This standoff unfolded as part of a broader crisis triggered by Yoon's declaration of martial law, which was overturned by parliament.
Amidst a backdrop of protests and legal challenges, the anti-corruption agency urges the acting leader to enforce the detainment warrant. Yoon's future now depends on the Constitutional Court's decision, which could either uphold the impeachment or see him reinstated.
