The legacy, corrupt media is often portraying this as a simple, lawful reaction to the “unlawful” Martial Law President Yoon declared in early December.
There is a lot more to the story that is being dismissed or not reported.
A President can declare Martial Law in South Korea under certain conditions. There has been immense, Chinese-funded election malfeasance in South Korea, which has delivered the National Assembly to the Democrat Party.
President Yoon imposed Martial Law to raid the National Election Commission (NEC) in South Korea. The NEC makes the Fulton County Election Commission in Georgia look clean.
President Yoon is in a struggle with the opposition “Democrat Party” of South Korea that is under the control of Chinese Communist sympathizers beginning with their leader Mr. Lee Jae-myung who was convicted of crimes in November, which triggered this string of events because his conviction prevents him from running for the presidency.
So, the Democrat Party is seizing the Presidency without an Election. The Democrat Party of South Korea is taking a lesson from Jack Smith and waging lawfare against President Yoon and throwing in a coup at the same time. This hard ball play to arrest Yoon may be backfiring – Yoon’s Party poll numbers are now surpassing the Democrat Party.
President Yoon Suk-yeol’s released this message on the Unlawful Arrest and Search Warrants shortly before he handed himself over:
“My Fellow Citizens,
I hope this message finds you well.
First, let me express my heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support and encouragement so many of you have shown me. Your belief in our shared principles gives me strength every day.
But I come to you today with a heavy heart. We are witnessing the collapse of the rule of law in this nation—a nation built on justice and freedom.
When warrants are issued by agencies that have no legal authority to conduct investigations, and when courts that lack jurisdiction issue warrants for arrests and searches, it is clear that the system is being twisted beyond recognition.
Even more troubling is the outright deception of the public by those entrusted with power. False documents, unlawful actions, and coercive procedures have no place in a country that values liberty and justice.
I have made the difficult decision to appear before the Corruption Investigation Office today—not because I accept their illegitimate authority, but because I am committed to preventing unnecessary violence or harm. Let me be clear: my compliance is not an acknowledgment of their actions’ legality.
As President, I have a solemn duty to uphold our Constitution and the principles that bind us as a people. This step is taken solely to protect lives and ensure peace in this troubling moment.
I am inspired by the resilience of our youth and the renewed commitment of so many to the ideals of freedom and democracy.
Though we face dark times, I firmly believe that the future of this nation remains bright, because it rests in the hands of people like you—who understand the value of liberty and are willing to stand for it.
Take heart, my friends. Our nation has faced adversity before, and we have always emerged stronger.
With faith, resolve, and unity, we will restore the integrity of our laws and the promise of our democracy.
God bless you, and God bless our great nation.”
The political instability in Seoul continues as news arises that South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested in a second attempt by the police authorities, six weeks after his short-lived attempt to impose martial law and 10 days after a first failed arrest attempt.
Sky News reported:
“A motorcade of black SUVs was seen leaving the gates of his hillside residence where he had been holed up for weeks behind barbed wire and a small army of personal security.
Mr Yoon said the “rule of law has completely collapsed” in a video message recorded before he was escorted to the headquarters of an anti-corruption agency. He said he was complying with the detention warrant to prevent clashes between police and the presidential security service.”
Yoon’s lawyers tried yet again to keep investigators from executing the arrest warrant, saying the president would ‘voluntarily appear for questioning’.
“Police had been trying to access the president’s official office to detain him but had become engaged in a standoff with Mr. Yoon’s security service.”
Eventually, hundreds of officers entered the grounds of the Palace using ladders to climb over barriers, as police reportedly deployed 3,200 officers to execute the arrest warrant.
“One person who collapsed amid the standoff has been transported away from the scene by the fire department, local media said.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials and police are jointly investigating whether Mr. Yoon’s martial law declaration on 3 December amounted to an attempted rebellion.”
Before arresting the impeached President, South Korean investigators first arrested his acting chief of presidential security, Kim Sung-hoon, for blocking their initial attempt to arrest Mr. Yoon earlier this month.
“Mr. Yoon’s presidential security service prevented dozens of investigators from arresting him after a standoff lasted nearly six hours on 3 January.”
Yoon declared martial law and deployed troops around the National Assembly at the beginning of December.
The failed attempt lasted only hours before politicians breached the blockade and voted to lift the measure.
This was followed by his presidential powers being suspended by a vote to impeach him on 14 December, accusing him of rebellion.
Yonhap News Agency via Sputnik:
“In order to stop unwanted bloodshed, I made the decision to appear in the prosecutor’s office despite the illegality of these actions,” Yoon stated.
He explained that investigators had attempted to breach the guarded area of his residence using ‘firefighter equipment’, prompting his decision to cooperate.”
The impeached president vowed to uphold the Constitution while also rejecting ‘the validity of the investigative process’.
“‘My consent to participate in that illegal and invalid process does not constitute its acceptance’, he said, framing his actions as a step to prevent violence.”
