South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol, 64, was arrested on charges of insurrection after investigators scaled barricades and cut through barbed wire to enter his residence. This marks the first time a sitting president in South Korea has been detained. Yoon is accused of a failed martial law order on December 3 that caused national unrest. While Yoon called the investigation illegal, opposition leaders hailed the arrest as a step toward justice. Acting President Choi Sang-mok leads the country amid ongoing political turmoil, with supporters and opponents of Yoon deeply divided. Yoon remains in custody pending court approval of his detention warrant.
