🔥 Historic political turmoil has erupted in South Korea as protesters flood the streets demanding President Yoon Suk-yeol's resignation. This comes after a failed attempt by anti-corruption investigators to arrest him on January 3—the first time a sitting president in the country's modern history faced such a warrant. Authorities cited 'continued confrontation' as the reason for the arrest's failure. 🇰🇷
📢 On January 4, CGTN Stringer footage captured crowds rallying in Daegu, where Yoon began his career as a prosecutor in 1994. Protesters waved signs calling for his ouster, reflecting growing public frustration over alleged corruption and governance disputes.
💡 Analysts say the crisis highlights deepening divisions in South Korea's political landscape. With public trust eroding, many wonder if Yoon can survive this unprecedented storm. Will this spark a broader reckoning? Stay tuned. ✨
