South Korea's acting leader has accepted the resignation of the chief of the presidential security service, who faced police questioning over the blocking of law enforcement efforts to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. The acting leader expressed regret over the clashes between law enforcement officials and the presidential security service and called for an independent investigation.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials and police are planning a second attempt to bring Yoon into custody as they investigate whether his brief martial law declaration amounted to an attempted rebellion. The presidential security service had blocked an earlier attempt to detain Yoon at his official residence.
