A dramatic turn of events unfolded as a convoy believed to be carrying South Korea's impeached president, Yoon Suk-yeol, departed the headquarters of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials in Gwacheon, heading straight to a detention center.
In a scene straight out of a thriller, Yoon was detained earlier at the presidential compound in a major operation. Despite insisting that the anti-corruption agency lacked the authority to investigate him, Yoon complied to avoid any potential violence.
This marks a historic moment as Yoon becomes the first sitting president in South Korea to be arrested. He now faces potential rebellion charges and could be looking at a lengthy prison sentence.
Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story. 📰
