Drama Unfolds: South Korea's Presidential Security Standoff

South Korean investigators urged the acting president to enforce an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, after a six-hour standoff where security forces blocked the arrest. The warrant relates to Yoon's recent martial law declaration. The finance minister has been asked to intervene.

On Saturday, South Korean investigators intensified their efforts to have the country's acting president enforce an arrest warrant against the nation's impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol.

President Yoon, facing allegations over a brief martial law declaration, was shielded by the presidential security service and military, resulting in a six-hour standoff. Investigators obtained the warrant on these grounds.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials is pushing for compliance from Acting President Choi Sang-mok. Meanwhile, the finance ministry and presidential security service chief face ongoing scrutiny amid unfolding political tension.
