South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested after an hours-long standoff with authorities at his residence. Investigators, using ladders and wirecutters, entered his home after he had holed up for weeks to avoid arrest. Yoon faces charges of insurrection related to an attempt to impose martial law. Despite calling the investigation illegal, Yoon agreed to interrogation to avoid violence. This unprecedented event marks the first time in South Korea’s history that a sitting president has been arrested. Yoon’s impeachment trial began yesterday but ended within four minutes due to his absence.
