South Korean President Yoon detained after standoff over martial law decree
Briefly

The political chaos provoked by Yoon's Dec. 3 martial law declaration is expected to continue, as he and his ruling party supporters remain defiant against the insurrection charges.
Yoon argued the martial law was necessary to combat the opposition's 'legislative dictatorship' that paralyzed state affairs and disturbed social order.
After his detention, Yoon called the investigation and warrant 'illegal', stating he cooperated with law enforcement to prevent violent confrontation.
The first attempt to detain Yoon failed due to organized resistance by his armed security detail, causing psychological and physical pressure on the investigators.
