As legal and political tensions rise, strategies are being considered to enforce the arrest while ensuring public safety.
In a dramatic twist to South Korea's political scene, President Yoon Suk Yeol is once again in the spotlight as authorities intensify efforts to arrest him. This follows a renewed court warrant over charges of insurrection.
Amid mounting pressure, Acting President Choi Sang-mok has urged for caution to prevent any injuries or clashes while executing the warrant. Demonstrators for and against President Yoon braved the cold to express their views around the fortified presidential compound.
