South Korea’s Corruption Investigation Office Attempts To Arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol

Members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and citizens scuffle with police officers and block roads during a protest against President Yoon Suk Yeol near his official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, South Korea, on January 3, 2025. Yoon, who is suspended from office due to impeachment, faces increasing public outcry. A Seoul court issues a warrant for his arrest in connection with his failed attempt to impose martial law, making him the first sitting South Korean president to face arrest. On Friday, the South Korean Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials and the National Office of Investigation suspend their attempt to detain President Yoon after hours of standoff between investigators and presidential security staff.
