YES

There is currently arrest warrant for insurrection as a result of Yoon briefly imposing martial law in late 2024 which was subsequently overturned by the South Korean government.

The previous attempt to arrest Yoon by South Korean anti-corruption investigators failed after a long stand-off between his security team.

Resolves to "Yes" on credible reports that South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is in police custody before February 1, 2025*. Otherwise it will resolve to "No". Announcement of his intention to surrender is not sufficient to resolve to "Yes".

Yonhap:

  • “Investigators began questioning impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law after his detention, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) said.”

    “Yoon appeared at the CIO's office in Gwacheon, south of Seoul, about 20 minutes after investigators detained him at his residence in central Seoul.”

@vitamind If he voluntarily appears for questioning without an arrest, will he be considered "in police custody" just because there are cops around? The note about "intention to surrender" not counting makes me think No.
