South Korea is rife with tension as President Yoon Suk Yeol faces a renewed arrest attempt for insurrection, after a top investigator vowed to breach the fortified presidential residence. This development follows ongoing protests and a fresh arrest warrant issued against the impeached leader.

In a bold move, the Presidential Security Service has fortified the compound using barbed wire and buses to block access. Yoon, embroiled in a criminal investigation over a failed martial law imposition, remains under scrutiny with an impeachment trial looming ahead in the Constitutional Court.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, led by Oh Dong-woon, is preparing meticulously for what they hope will be the final attempt to arrest Yoon. With heightened political tension and safety risks, the attempt could involve deploying police tactical units to confront presidential guards.
