Political Turmoil and Presidential Standoff

A significant political standoff occurred at the presidential compound as authorities attempted to arrest President Yoon Sang-yeol following allegations surrounding his failed martial law bid. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials sent investigators, but their efforts were thwarted after hours due to confrontations with Secret Service officials forming a blockade. Despite a court-issued arrest warrant, the investigators had to withdraw for safety reasons. This incident has ignited tensions within the political landscape, with supporters of the president celebrating the withdrawal while opposition groups continue to rally for his arrest.
