Summary

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained following a law enforcement operation over his brief martial law declaration on Dec. 3.

Yoon, accused of rebellion, claimed the measure was necessary to counter an “anti-state” opposition but was impeached on Dec. 14.

After weeks of resistance at his residence, he complied with the detention warrant, avoiding clashes.

His fate now rests with the Constitutional Court, which is deliberating whether to remove him permanently or reinstate him.

Protests have erupted, with supporters and critics rallying near his residence.
