South Korea’s political landscape plunged into chaos this weekend as impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol defied arrest over a failed martial law decree, sparking a dramatic showdown between his security forces and investigators. 💥
Presidential Standoff Goes Viral
In scenes straight out of a K-drama, presidential guards and military troops blocked investigators attempting to arrest Yoon at his residence Friday. The suspended leader, once a star prosecutor, faces charges linked to his controversial martial law declaration – a move overturned by lawmakers last month. 👮🏻♂️
“Too Dangerous to Proceed”
An investigation team official told reporters anonymously: “We estimated 200 personnel blocking us… It was a dangerous situation.” Authorities retreated without making an arrest, leaving the warrant set to expire within days. 🏳️&u6740🪡
