South Korea crisis

Thousands of South Koreans gather in the Capital, Seoul for rival demonstrations as the suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol refuses to surrender. The protests come as investigators prepare for another attempt to arrest President Yoon over his controversial martial law decree, which has plunged the nation into its worst political crisis in decades. The National Office of Investigation is bracing for confrontations, with plans to mobilize over 1,000 investigators for another arrest attempt. As the protests unfold, Yoon faces serious criminal charges, including insurrection, which could lead to prison time or even the death penalty if convicted. Meanwhile, Yoon's security chief has resigned amid scrutiny over last week's standoff between Yoon’s guards and investigators. Yoon also faces ongoing impeachment proceedings, with a trial set to begin on January 14th, regardless of his presence.
