South Korean investigators on Saturday again asked the country’s acting president to clear the way for the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after a six-hour standoff earlier this week thwarted his detainment.

Authorities entered impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's compound, evading a crowd of protesters outside, but were confronted with presidential security forces inside.

Tensions ran high near the residence of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Thursday, as rival protesters clashed and hundreds of supporters formed a blockade to prevent his imminent arrest.
