- South Korean investigators are trying once more to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol following a failed attempt earlier this month.
They had tried to arrest Yoon on 3 January but had to turn back after being locked in an hours-long stand-off with members of the Presidential Security Service (PSS).
The arrest is expected to be carried out with the help of veteran police detectives, local media reported.
Lawyers for Yoon have criticised the planned use of police officers, saying it was a betrayal of the public.
Yoon's impeachment trial, which will decide if he is removed from office, started yesterday but ended within four minutes because of his absence.

Citizens did bodycheck special forces, lawmakers impeached president, and policemen arrested him. It is like looking Kane-Son combination.
South Koreans are showing the world in live TV right here that they are capable of excercising peacefull DEMOCRATIC process. Anyone who is liable to breach the law must stand at court even if that one is the current president. South Koreans should be PROUD that due democratic process is taking place peacefully and I am comfident that South Korea will be ever more resiliant coming out through this.

And we Koreans come to know how fragile and unstable democracy and law could be under the power of money and greed.
This is embarrassing 😂
@@Skunkman-w5x At least Trudeau resigned and we didnt have to take to the streets..LOL..
It shows how healthy South Korean democracy is, and governance by the people actually works well. We all know that corrupt people can take power anytime, anywhere. But the thing is how to fix it smoothly and quickly.
Too bad. On the contrary, it shows how unhealthy Korean democracy is.
@@philzk3207It’s no joke. S. Korea’s political system has always had issues.
@@philzk3207 not the democracy itself, but shows how many voters are dumb as hell

You don't seem to have much understanding of democracy or how to defend it. I'm guessing you're therefore American? @@philzk3207
Hope it doesnt get ugly.
This is unbelievable.
North Korea are planning to invade right now.
South Korea has to find the way to do the right thing is this presidential saga and thriller. They are trying the step by step in the lawful direction solution ,to avoid violence and civil confrontation. It is going to take a while to do what necessary for the nation's dignity.
Its a Yooning drama.
I like that cop who dropped something. He was about to scramble to pick it up but was like, "Wait! I'm on TV."
Arrested at 10:33!
Finally!!!
mannn
Since the impeachment which was over the hump, the arrest today was the second one. Now it's time for Constitutional court for the impeachment trial. Stay with Koreans to see how Korea's juddicial proceedings will work. :D
Actually, he was a president who fought against systemic corruption rampant in South Korea.
During the past five years under the previous administration (current opposition party), a cartel gradually formed under the current opposition party, paralyzing the functions of state institutions and monopolizing power.
This group weakened national security by promoting industrial espionage in the country’s key industries and deliberately leaking the personal information of intelligence agents. They also politicized judicial institutions, undermined the South Korea-U.S. alliance, and sought to withdraw U.S. forces from the peninsula. Furthermore, they monopolized power, misused national finances, and distributed subsidies to their supporters and organizations, thereby seizing control of the media and civil society groups. In contrast, the president pursued unpopular policies, such as strengthening exchanges with Japan, for the sake of national interest.
Now the cartel leveraged illegally issued arrest warrant by corrupted judges to get to the president and succeeded.
I am sharing this information to provide a clearer understanding of the situation.
Younger generations in South Korea are waking up to these facts and a lot of them are taking to the streets in support of the president.
In short, the president is democracy, the opposition party is criminal cartel.
EXPLANATION FOR ENGLISH VIEWERS (please upvote): the democratic party (opposing the president) took 190 seats in the house/senate (we have that shit combined doing election fraud and umm ... they won't pass a law that can punish ANYONE other than north koreans from spying so there was this chinese that was spying on US military installations with drones and we have no laws to punish them because under our espionage law only north koreans are considered "enemies" and shit. and um... now theyr'e going to pass a law that says that if you question the integrity of the election you get 10 years or up to 1 0 years in prison. It was a shit storm, so Yoon declared martial law while seizing the election office servers. They're worried the forensics results will come out, so they desperately enacted this warrant. voice of america (korea) a US govt publication mentioned how they're arresting people sending money to north korea. anyways, the democratic party leader's codefendant was convicted of that, sending 8 Million there. he actually lost his first trial, in korea there's three trials. law division, appellate division, supreme court. he got 2 years prison in the law division, preventing him from being president. if he can get the current president out and get into power before the appellate division ruling comes back, he's saved. that's why they're speeding things up. If you need any further details please let us know
So your Democratic Party is as terrible as ours.
Holy crap
You meant Yoon?
Well done South Korea! Showing Americans what defending your freedom actually looks like. Unlike the Yanks, they arrested their version of Trump and said no to his nonsense. 🇬🇧🇰🇷
I don't know if you know the exact situation, but if the democratic party wins, we will lose freedom. They are suing, impeaching anyone against them and are trying to make a law of censoring personal messages.
The voice that disappeared in Tiananmen, you too can be a part of it.

They are making warrants and issuing them in places where warrants cannot be issued. The Democratic People's Party has proposed to remove freedom from the Constitution. The Republic of Korea gained freedom and democracy by siding with the United States in the Korean War. Now it is time for the people themselves to protect their freedom.
Same thing going to happen here in 4 years😅
You mean Tories doing that to Starmer?
Bruh Yoon shut the gov down bc the communist congress. His position wasn’t in jeopardy
No, now we will b under the communist regime, where you have no freedom, that's why we were protecting our president cuz he represents democracy.

He belongs in jail on corruption charges
Not only corruption but mainly on military coup attempt
He tried to expose election fraud. Now, lefties are acting madness
Not any corruption. He is under inspection for the insurrection as he declared the martial law last month. Ridiculous, isn't it?
What corruption? Are u mad ? 💩
Silence Communist
This is not the political drama. This is the desperate fighting for the Freedom and Democracy in South Korea. Those supporters for President Yoon don’t want to be another HongKong.
윤석열 대통령이 자유와 민주주의를 짓밟으려 했습니다.
China derangement syndrome
Don't worry. China has nothing to do with politics of Korea. They will return as #1 buyers since Yoon is arrested.😊
i hate CCP
Only CCP can make China great
The true reason that president Yoon declared martial law just for 6 hours is to investigate alleged election fradulent which gave a big win to demogratic party (left-wing party). Election department and more than half of Korean media are on the side of demogratic party, president Yoon could not proceed any investigation but declaring the martial law. And among pro-impeachment protesters, there are many North Korean and Chinese spies working with because demogratic party is pro-North Korea and pro-China. Majority of Koreans now know the truth, president Yoon's approval rate has been rising up. And last 5 years of president Moon's period (democratic party), quite much of confidential information got leaked to China and North Korea. Further investigation is necessary but democratic MPs are delaying and preventing the process.
Attempted murder can only take 1 SECOND, but should be arrested. 😂😂 Yoon sent 300 soldiers to National Election Committee and took its server. Where is the evidence of election fraud?
Don't you know that Yoon and his party is China friendly?

Who is CCP party????
Is the general election Yoon Suk-yeol lost considered fraudulent, while the presidential and local elections he won are deemed legitimate? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@가가밍밍 What is why I said allegation, not actual fraudulent. Investigation is still going on, the time will tell the truth. And youtubers proved with real footages that Chinese citizens are joining pro-impeachment protest. Chinese people don't speak Korean, their country has completely different political system so obviously they do not how what is Korean culture and how political systems work. Why would they want president Yoon to be arrested and impeached? What benefits do they know that China will gain if president Yoon is impeached?
Impeached? Not yet.
He is in process in the Korean Constitutional Court. The warrant is illegally issued by an undue judge.
Surely the Parliament has impeached him though? Impeachment by the House alone is still Impeachment of sorts.
The whole reason they're having this arrest is because he's not showing up to the impeachment trial
@123four... There's no problem not participating in the constitutional trial on his own. On behalf of him defense counsel can report to the court.
@@borishenkel9703 That's not a privilege anybody else is afforded to during trial. He's already been removed from office, is facing impeachment and criminal charges, yet he still remains above the law?
@@123four... well, because he is still the president. Lol
Stop it! Don't fall into Chinese trap.
Days before the Mr Yoon's protest, a lot of protesters were flown into South Korea from China 🇨🇳.
- That's why protesters spoke Chinese with each others.
This bot never stops lying for the 🇺🇸 Empire. Definitely a fake account with fake thumbs up to make it look popular 🤢
Korea is not China
Ha?
China's past dynasties were ruined because of Korea. Korea's influence is fatal to China.
I have heard from the news that lots of Chinese arrived in the airport a day before..
Chinese here. I'm so curious why most Korean presidents came to a sticky end eventually.
All of the Korean impeached presidents were far-right presidents. Unfortunately, a corrupt and incompetent president was elected, but they were brought to justice in the end. I hope the day will come when you, China, will condemn the wrong dictator yourself.
US style democracy at it's finest
The opposite. The USA failed to deal with their wannabe dictator and now they are stuck with him. South Koreans made fools of Americans by teaching them how to defend their freedom.
Lee Jae myoung must be arrested !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee must become president first to be arrested. President Lee🎉🎉🎉
Yoon Suk-yeol: Execution!! Lee Jae-myung: Imprisonment!!

Trash superficial reporting.
president supporters hold the us and korean flag but the opposition hold cult sings
President supports chanting Stop the Steal… 😅 It’s a comedy
The president's supporters are people who support martial law and like dictatorship.
What's funny is people who hold US and Korean flags together are the cult 😂😂😂
I love how this reporter couldn't resist mentioning Trump. In fact, it's hard not to see a mainstream news piece that doesn't have to somehow link it to Trump.
Activism not journalism! So, unprofessional.
CCP OUT !
윤석열 시빌워 실패
Mr. Yoon ❤️ is regarded as *the best South Korean 🇰🇷 leader ever!*
Job well done in getting:
- the Korea-Japan-US relationship in place, and
- an extended deterrent agreement with the US, where South Korea has a direct input in the American nucler deterrent in response to the North Korean and Chinese threats.
Sure, but how valuable exactly, is this agreement? How much are you willing to bet that should the time actually come, the US would honor the deal? Or what happens when the next US administration comes in and tears your agreement in half?
How much are you paid for putting pro Yoon comments?

Korea and Japan are best friend. Protect democracy.

While in the champion of democracy, the buffoon was given unconditional discharge 😂😂
in late stages of empire, it’s often the peripheral provinces that still practice and demonstrate the old republican norms and practices, values like rule of law etc. maga is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government - “America first is America last” Trump’s personal extortion racket with a social media incited death cult protecting him, menacing their own public, armed to the teeth, with bibles in hand.

Shouldn't federal authorities be the ones executing this warrant? Or the military? Or a collaboration of many agencies
1) Korea isn’t a Federal Country, the large majority of countries aren’t.
2) The President is the Commander in Chief of the Military
President Yoon Seok-yeol's approval rating is going up to 50%. In God, all the people, police, and army rose as righteous people, police, and army against the rebels who are against the president and the country~!! We have won in God~!!

So who in charge of the military rn
The President and Prime Minister have been impeached so, the Minister of Finance serves as the head of the South Korean government and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
Koreans don't know what democracy is.
....and you Chinese what know democracy is...😂😂😂
Yawn, any news on the fire starters in LA. Will they get life imprisonment or a statue of them in Hollywood……..
Aren't you supposed to wait on the full impeachment until you arrest a president? Its a very chaotic way of doing things.
The ruling party (with Chinese Communist Party) is attempting to arrest the president to make him appear guilty before the second trial of the ruling party leader, Lee Jae-myung, on January 23, for charges of bribery and illegal remittances to North Korea. The public has realized this and is protecting the president.
so was the martial law.
He's not showing up to the impeachment hearings
@123four... my point is that the process is silly. He's either he is the president or he's not. In the US, impeachment is a political process and is solely the jurisdiction of Congress. The House brings the charges to the senate and the senate votes to impeach. That's it. Once impeached, the person is no longer president and stripped of all power and is an ordinary citizen. The vice president takes over. The custom in America has been for the new president to pardon the ex president. This avoids the circus that could happen. Unfortunately, it could abd should have happened with Trump, like with Nixon. Anyway, there is no need for the president to show up. It's not a criminal process. After impeachment, criminal charges can be brought through the normal process like any accused. The impeachment process plays out like a trial in the senate where evidence from all parties discusses the issue and nature of charges. The president does not have to be present. Basically, the idea is that the people's representatives decide if actions are justified. This allows the political question to be decided completely. Again, the custom has usually been to pardon because after impeachment, you can never hold office again. Any office. Forever.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) went to the Western District Court, where the chief judge is a judicial training classmate of the CIO chief, and obtained an illegal arrest warrant. Without any investigative authority, they unlawfully took the president into custody. The CIO was established by the Democratic Party, which also passed a law stripping prosecutors of their investigative powers. With the president's arrest today, South Korea now faces the risk of becoming a second Hong Kong.
Final nail in the coffin. Soon Korea will unite with north korea under kim jong un. You all wanted this….

What's with the green undergarment
"I would like to explain the current situation in South Korea.
The country’s legislative branch is dominated by the Democratic Party, which many people view as resembling a communist party. There are widespread claims that the control was gained through election fraud facilitated by the National Election Commission. Despite calls for external investigations, the Democratic Party and the Election Commission have refused to conduct any inquiries and are now preparing laws to punish those who question the election results. Additionally, the Constitutional Court, judiciary, police, labor unions, civic groups, and media are all under the control of left-wing forces.
In this context, the president, as the head of the executive branch, tried to uncover the election fraud but found no way to do so. His only recourse was to declare martial law, and he immediately lifted following a lawful vote in the legislative branch after 6 hours. And then the Democratic Party attempted to impeach him on charges of treason. They realized that such a charge would backfire, so they stirred public opinion by labeling the situation as treason, and later changed the charge to one of external rebellion, accusing the president of aligning with China and North Korea. This inadvertently exposed the Democratic Party’s pro-China and pro-North Korea sympathies.
Moreover, an agency known as the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, which is aligned with the Democratic Party, illegally investigated the president, despite lacking the authority to do so. They obtained an arrest warrant from a district court in the western part of Seoul, which had no jurisdiction over the matter, and arrested the president illegally.
The president’s approval ratings are sharply rising, and there is a growing public demand for his return. In response, the government passed a law to punish anyone who expresses opposing views through platforms like TH-cam, Facebook, or KakaoTalk, mirroring the actions of the Chinese Communist Party. South Korea is now in a situation similar to when Hong Kong was taken over by China. While the people are waking up to these issues, key institutions have already been compromised.
I hope this explanation helps you better understand the situation in South Korea."
Wake up from your delusion.
망상
The impeachment, arrest, and detention of South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol are entirely constitutional measures, reflecting that democracy governed by the people is alive and well in the Republic of Korea. Yoon Suk-yeol, who unlawfully declared martial law, deserves to be held accountable for his actions, and citizens around the world witnessed these events live through the media. Stop spreading delusional and misleading comments to confuse the global audience. Don’t behave like a senseless, fanatical anti-communist.
