Political Turmoil: South Korea's Impeached President Faces Arrest

South Korean investigators sought to extend an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his martial law declaration. Despite U.S. concerns, the situation underscores South Korea's democratic resilience. The investigation is accompanied by public rallies both supporting and opposing the president.

In a move reflecting South Korea's political turbulence, investigators are seeking to extend a warrant for the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. The warrant relates to Yoon's controversial martial law declaration, which has sparked significant domestic and international concern.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken underscored Washington's commitment to its key Asian ally, while expressing serious concerns over the unfolding political crisis. Yoon's martial law move has not only led to his impeachment but has also provoked a rare rebuke from U.S. officials.

The legal and political drama has intensified rallies for and against Yoon, underlining the divided sentiment among South Koreans. With the Constitutional Court deliberating Yoon's future, the country's democratic values are being tested amid this unprecedented challenge.
