South Korea's Yoon Suk-yeol says he agreed to questioning to prevent bloodshed

South Korea’s impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol has been arrested after investigators stormed his residential compound on January 15, 2025. In a video message released shortly after his detention, Yoon said he agreed to subject himself to questioning to prevent a “bloody” clash between his bodyguards and the police. But he called the investigation and the warrant to detain him illegal. Yoon Suk-yeol became the first incumbent South Korean president to be arrested.
