Recently suspended South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested early Wednesday by the country's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, ending a political standoff triggered by Yoon's short-lived decision to impose martial law last month.

Residents celebrated today as former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who failed in a military coup, was finally arrested. The arrest comes after intense political and public outcry over the impeached leader's strong-arm actions.

Yoon’s detention, after a tense standoff outside the presidential residence, marks the latest chapter in a bewildering series of events since his martial law decree.
