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.
