Headline: UNCAPTIONED: South Korea in Turmoil as Yoon Continues to Faces Arrest
Caption: Suspended South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol remains defiant barricaded in his fortified residence, as the arrest warrant for his controversial martial law order nears expiration. Investigators, thwarted by Yoon's security team last Friday, faced barbed wire and bus barricades during a tense six-hour standoff but were forced to withdraw. Yoon has ignored multiple summonses for questioning on insurrection and abuse of power charges. Police have refused to act on the arrest warrant, citing legal controversy, leaving anti-corruption investigators to pursue enforcement. Public anger has erupted, with protests in heavy snow both supporting and opposing Yoon. The crisis stems from Yoon’s failed attempt to impose martial law, which he justified as a response to threats from North Korea and "anti-state forces" The fallout continues as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits Seoul to stabilize relations before Donald Trump’s presidential return.
