In a dramatic turn of events, South Korean prosecutors and investigators from the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) made an attempt to arrest the impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol on Friday.
According to multiple media outlets, the team approached the main gate leading to the presidential residence in central Seoul, where they confronted agents from the presidential security service. TV footage captured the tense standoff as investigators attempted to gain access, while security agents protected President Yoon within the residence.
This development marks a significant moment in South Korea's political landscape, highlighting ongoing efforts to address corruption at the highest levels of government. The outcome of this attempt remains to be seen, as both sides hold firm positions amidst the unfolding situation.
