Chaos In South Korea: President Yoon Arrested Again | Political Crisis Deepens with His Detention

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on January 15, 2025, after a failed martial law attempt. This historic event marks the first time a sitting president in South Korea has faced arrest. The arrest follows a tense standoff with investigators who raided the presidential residence. Yoon's attempted power grab, including directing soldiers to storm Parliament, led to charges of insurrection. Despite a previous failed arrest attempt on January 3, Yoon voluntarily agreed to appear before investigators before being detained. His arrest escalates South Korea's political crisis and tensions with his supporters. #YoonSukYeol #SouthKorea #PresidentArrested #MartialLawAttempt #PoliticalCrisis #InsurrectionCharges #PresidentialImpeachment #CorruptionInvestigation #SouthKoreanPolitics #HistoricArrest #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Amid High Drama, South Korea’s Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol Arrested :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-high-drama-south-korea-s-impeached-president-yoon-suk-yeol-arrested-011-4042671.html?ref=DMDesc Police Engage in Standoff with Guards at Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's Residence in Seoul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/police-standoff-guards-impeached-president-yoon-residence-011-4042621.html?ref=DMDesc Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Getting A Pay Hike In 2025- Here's Why :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/impeached-south-korean-president-yoon-suk-yeol-getting-a-pay-hike-in-2025-heres-why-4041271.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.362~ED.346~
