South Korea is in turmoil as former President Yoon Suk Yeol, recently ousted and having declared martial law, defies arrest attempts by authorities. Despite the parliament’s reversal of his martial law declaration and removal from office, Yoon remains barricaded in his residence, protected by his presidential guard. Legal challenges against the arrest warrant have been rejected, and public demonstrations are intensifying. Experts warn that the political polarization could lead to violence, with potential implications for South Korea’s stability amid international pressures.
