On January 15, 2025, South Korea’s impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested by the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) for questioning following his controversial martial law decree last month. This marks a historic event as Yoon is the first president in years to be taken into custody. His arrest occurred shortly after a warrant was executed at 10:33 am local time. The martial law ruling declared on December 3 was swiftly overridden by South Korea’s legislature roughly six hours later and led to Yoon's impeachment just 11 days later on December 14. Photos surfaced on social media showing Yoon being transported for questioning by officials. This developing story will be updated as more information comes to light.
