South Korea: Presidential Security Chief Resigns But Warns Against Further Attempts to Arrest Yoon

This saga is already boring.

If Yoon doesn’t do another coup soon, I’m done with his boring ass.

I don’t care if he is an incel, I can’t tolerate being this bored anymore.

The security chief of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, under investigation for blocking Yoon’s arrest, resigned on Friday and said any further efforts to detain the ex-leader must avoid bloodshed.

Yoon’s short-lived declaration of martial law on Dec. 3 has plunged one of Asia’s most vibrant democracies into a period of unprecedented political turbulence.

As a top Court deliberates over lawmakers’ decision to impeach Yoon, who is holed up at his hillside residence, anti-graft officers have also opened a criminal investigation for possible insurrection.

Those officers were last week stopped from bringing Yoon in for questioning in a six-hour standoff with the Presidential Security Service (PPS), headed by Park Chong-jun.

Investigators have a warrant for Yoon’s arrest and have said they are determined to detain him for questioning.

Park, a former senior police official, was questioned by police on Friday over his role in last week’s standoff and his office announced he had submitted his resignation.

As he arrived at the police headquarters in downtown Seoul, he told reporters that the current attempt to arrest a sitting president was wrong and that “there should not be any physical clash or bloodshed under any circumstances.”

Acting President Choi Sang-mok, just two weeks in office and thrust into a political cauldron, on Friday called for a fresh way to resolve the stalemate between investigators and Yoon’s security.

He proposed parliament prepare a bill to appoint a special prosecutor. Earlier, Choi had vetoed an opposition-backed special prosecutor bill to probe the martial law declaration, saying it had no guarantee an independent person would be appointed to lead the probe.

Yoon still has a lot of supporters.

Why he didn’t tell those supporters to get out in the streets and fight his enemies after he declared martial law, I have no idea and no one has any idea.

He choked, and chokers are always losers.

Nothing is stopping him from doing another coup attempt, and no one can explain why he doesn’t just do that.

He has an opportunity for greatness.
