A president impeached, now resisting arrest.
00:08
South Korean police officers arrived in force at the country's presidential residence in
00:14
the early hours of Friday morning to detain suspended leader Yun Suk-yo, who was removed
00:20
for suddenly enacting martial law last month.
00:35
But police faced a tough task in even getting to Yun, with supporters of the impeached president
00:41
vowing to block the arrest as they surround the presidential compound.
01:03
Yun's lawyer has also called the arrest attempt unlawful, saying they will challenge any attempt
01:10
to bring the president in.
01:16
And beyond the protesters, two more obstacles complicated efforts to detain Yun, a military
01:23
unit tasked with protecting the presidential residence and Yun's personal security detail.
01:30
Local media reported that police successfully negotiated with the military and made it to
01:35
Yun's door, but corruption officials deemed the arrest impossible and called off the
01:41
effort, marking more turmoil in an increasingly unstable government.
01:46
