In a surprising turn of events, impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced Wednesday that he will submit to questioning over his failed martial law bid. 📰💥 Despite believing the probe is illegal, Yoon stated his decision aims to prevent further \"bloodshed\" in the nation.
Earlier today, investigators arrested Yoon at the presidential residence in Seoul, leading to tense scenes outside the main gate. 🎥👮♂️ For over two hours, clashes erupted between investigators and Yoon's supporters, including lawmakers from the ruling conservative party and his defense team. Some injuries were reported amidst the chaos. 🚑⚠️
Adding to the drama, the acting chief of the presidential security service was also arrested. A South Korean court had issued a warrant after the acting chief previously blocked an attempt to arrest Yoon earlier this month, resulting in a dramatic standoff at the presidential residence. 🏛️🚔
Yoon's agreement to face questioning marks a significant moment in South Korea's political landscape. Many are watching closely to see how this will impact the nation's stability and future. 🌐👀
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story. 📢✨
