The impeached South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on January 15 for questioning by the Corruption Investigation Office due to his controversial martial law ruling last month. This marks a significant event, as Yoon is the first president to be taken into custody in recent years. He was reportedly taken from his residence following the execution of a warrant for his arrest around 10:33 AM local time, with images circulating on social media showing him entering a vehicle presumably for questioning. Yoon's martial law decree, declared on December 3, faced swift backlash, leading to its override by South Korea’s legislature just six hours later. Eleven days after the decree was overruled, Yoon was impeached on December 14. The situation continues to develop, and further updates are expected.
