Authorities in South Korea pursued an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday, amidst protests from his supporters at his residence. Yoon is under investigation for insurrection due to a failed martial law attempt on December 3, an unprecedented situation for an incumbent president. Approximately 3,000 police were mobilized as protestors vowed to block the arrest. Yoon’s legal team challenged the warrant’s validity, arguing the investigating agency lacked authority. Following Yoon’s controversial martial law declaration, he faced political backlash, leading to his impeachment, with a constitutional court hearing underway to determine his fate.
