Security guards of President Yoon Suk-yol and law enforcement officials clashed in South Korea's capital Seoul when investigating officers went to Yol's residence to arrest him.

This was the second attempt by the police to arrest Yol. Earlier too, security guards had tried to stop them from arresting former President Yol. However, despite the deadlock, he was arrested.

Yol was at his residence

Yol had been hiding at his Hannam Dong residence for several weeks. More than a thousand investigators and police officers were deployed to capture him. Yol had declared martial law in South Korea last month.

After this, there were protests against him all over the country. People came out on the streets and the opposition entered the Parliament and voted against it. Yol later apologized for this.

blocked the way

• A joint team of high-ranking corruption investigating officers and the police is trying to determine whether the martial law imposed on the country on December 3 could be tantamount to an attempted rebellion.
• Despite a court order to detain Yoon, the Presidential Security Service says it is their duty to protect the former president. They have surrounded the entire compound with barbed wire and blocked roads with buses.
• As the matter escalated, South Korea's acting leader and Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok issued a statement calling on enforcement agencies and the Presidential Security Service to ensure that physical clashes do not occur.

finally got success

Prior to the arrest, several police officers wearing black jackets were seen roaming around Yol's residence. Many of them were roaming the hilly compound and trying to find a way to enter the residence.

Eventually, some police officers succeeded. They crossed the buses by placing ladders on them and somehow entered the residence. Yol's lawyer said the Security Service would continue to protect him because the warrant issued by Seoul's Western Court is illegal.
