Standoff in Seoul ends after security forces suspend attempt to arrest impeached President Yoon
Investigators withdrew from Yoon Suk Yeol's residence after the South Korean presidential security service blocked their attempt to arrest him during a six-hour standoff.
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.
