The situation escalated on Friday when South Korean officials approached President Yoon Suk Yeol's residence to question him regarding insurrection charges linked to his martial law declaration, triggering protests from his supporters.
Yoon Suk Yeol has faced backlash for declaring martial law, a decision he defends as within his presidential powers. His refusal to comply with investigators signals a deepening political crisis.
A court warrant was obtained by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, enabling them to detain President Yoon. However, further legal steps are needed for formal arrest.
Support for President Yoon remains strong among his loyalists, who have camped outside his residence, determined to prevent his officials from detaining him amid the ongoing political turbulence.
