South Korean investigators have made a second attempt to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, after a previous arrest attempt earlier this month was unsuccessful. This time, the investigators entered Yoon’s official residence as they continued their efforts to detain him. A court had granted an extension to the arrest warrant, which was initially issued due to Yoon’s involvement in a controversial move to impose martial law in December, an action that led to charges of insurrection against him.

Yoon, who has been holed up in his residence for weeks, has faced intense scrutiny from both the public and the authorities. His impeachment trial began yesterday but was quickly adjourned, lasting only four minutes, as Yoon was absent from the proceedings. The trial is a crucial step in determining whether he will be removed from office, but his refusal to appear has complicated the situation.

Outside Yoon’s residence, there is a large crowd, consisting of both his supporters and critics. Tensions are high, and the presence of around 1,000 police officers underscores the seriousness of the situation. Yoon’s lawyers have been vocal in their opposition to the use of police officers for his arrest, with some criticizing it as a “betrayal of the public.” These developments add to the growing political unrest in South Korea, as the nation grapples with the potential downfall of its embattled president.
