Yoon’s detention, after a tense standoff outside the presidential residence, marks the latest chapter in a bewildering series of events since his martial law decree.

Investigators from the Corruption Investigation Office attempted to forcibly enter the residence of the suspended President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, to execute an arrest warrant. The investigators and police faced resistance from his lawyers and security team.

Yoon Suk Yeol became the first incumbent South Korean president to be arrested when he finally backed down on Wednesday in a weeks-long standoff with authorities investigating him over alleged insurrection.
