South Korean authorities have arrested ousted President Yoon Suk-yeol, marking a significant moment in the nation's political history.
Yoon faces allegations of treason and corruption, becoming the first president in the country's history to be detained.
The arrest occurred after Yoon voluntarily left the presidential residence to meet investigators.
He emphasized that his decision aimed to prevent unrest, despite his continued objection to the investigation's legitimacy.
The Central Investigation Bureau confirmed the arrest, citing its importance in addressing serious allegations against the former leader.
Meanwhile, leaders of the opposition Democratic Party described the move as a crucial step toward upholding democracy, restoring constitutional order, and reinforcing the rule of law.
