On Wednesday, South Korean police conducted a raid at the presidential office, as reported by Yonhap news agency. South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol is being investigated for possible insurrection over his short decision to impose martial law. However, he has not been arrested or questioned by authorities yet.

“The Special Investigation Team has conducted a raid on the presidential office, the National Police Agency, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and the National Assembly Security Service,” the unit said in a communication to AFP. Police stated Wednesday that South Korea's top two police officers have been arrested and will be questioned on their role in implementing President Yoon Suk Yeol's temporary martial law order from last week.

This occurs prior to the Democratic Party submitting a new motion for Yoon's impeachment on Saturday. The ruling party's boycott of the vote ended the earlier attempt to impeach him. The opposition party plans to push for a vote on the new motion, even though there is increasing doubt about Yoon's presidency. Yoon's decision to declare martial law has led to political deadlock, disrupted foreign policy, and caused instability in the financial markets, making people question whether he will be able to finish his term. After the failed impeachment attempt, the leader of Yoon's conservative party promised a smooth transition and hinted that Yoon may be sidelined as the country moves towards early elections.

However, critics say this plan goes against the Constitution, which clearly states that impeachment is the only way to suspend a president’s powers. They also pointed out that the president still has control over the military. The Defense Ministry confirmed that Yoon remains in charge of South Korea’s armed forces.

Kim Bong-sik, the head of Seoul's metropolitan police agency, and National Police Agency Commissioner General Cho Ji Ho were being held at Seoul's Namdaemun police station, according to authorities. They are being investigated for their involvement in sending police forces to the National Assembly to prevent lawmakers from entering and voting to remove Yoon’s martial law decree, which was suddenly announced on the night of December 3.
