Supporters of South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol rally near the Gwanghwamun Gate in Seoul one day after investigators abandoned the attempt to arrest Yoon, citing safety concerns after a standoff with his security team.  

South Korean investigators attempted to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol at his residence Friday over a failed martial law bid but were blocked by his security forces. They stood down just days before the arrest warrant expires on Monday. The Corruption Investigation Office may attempt to execute the arrest warrant for Yoon again before the January 6 deadline.
