South Korea made history as its sitting President, Yoon Suk Yeol, was arrested on Wednesday for insurrection tied to his December 3 martial law declaration. Over 3,000 police officers and anti-corruption investigators converged on Yoon’s fortified residence, facing protests from ruling People Power Party supporters. The arrest, based on a court-issued warrant, marks the first for a South Korean president. Lawmakers had impeached Yoon on December 14, citing his actions as unconstitutional, while the Constitutional Court deliberates his permanent removal. The political crisis has sparked widespread protests, with minor clashes erupting near Yoon's residence during his detention.
