South Korea's president apologises for martial law ahead of impeachment vote
South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol has apologised to the nation ahead of a planned impeachment vote and vowed to face all legal consequences after attempting to impose martial law earlier this week.
Dozens of anti-corruption agency investigators and assisting police officers attempted to detain the impeached president on Friday but retreated from his residence in Seoul after a tense five-hour standoff with the presidential security service.

In the heart of Seoul, thousands of South Koreans gathered in the snow to protest for and against the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. With his arrest warrant expiring soon, the country faces a high-stakes political crisis. Yoon's attempt to declare martial law in December 2023 triggered political chaos, making him the first sitting president to face potential arrest. Protests, clashes with police, and divided opinions showcase the nation's deep political divide. Watch the video to understand the magnitude of this political standoff and what comes next for South Korea.
