South Korean Protests Erupt Over Suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol Amid Arrest Warrant

Thousands of South Korean protesters gathered in Seoul during a snowstorm to demand the arrest of suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is resisting efforts to detain him over a failed martial law declaration. As political chaos ensues, pro-Yoon supporters rallied outside his residence, while opposition calls for the dissolution of his protective security service intensified. The Constitutional Court is set to begin Yoon’s impeachment trial on January 14, with legal battles over the legitimacy of the arrest attempt continuing. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to visit Seoul amid the turmoil.
