Suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol is resisting arrest over his short-lived martial law decree. SEOUL: Thousands of South Koreans began gathering in the capital for rival demonstrations on Saturday (Jan 11), as investigators prepare another attempt to arrest suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law decree.

South Korea's Presidential Security Service chief resigned Friday and acting President Choi Sang-mok accepted it. President Yoon Suk Yeol remains in his fortified residence as law enforcement seeks to arrest him.

South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol faces a new and potentially more robust attempt to arrest him for insurrection after a top investigator vowed to do whatever it takes to break a security blockade and take in the impeached leader.
