South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol arrested, local media reports

This was the second bid to arrest the impeached president, following a failed attempt on Jan. 3.

This was the second bid to arrest the impeached president, following a failed attempt on Jan.3 when agents from South Korea's Presidential Security Service had blocked investigators from entering Yoon's residence. South Korean media outlets also reported Yoon in a pre-recorded video said that "the law of the country has collapsed," and called the CIO's investigation "illegal." Lawmakers then managed to get past police barricades and voted down the declaration at the country's parliament, before filing impeachment motions against Yoon a few days later.
