In a dramatic turn of events, South Korean investigators attempted to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol at his residence.

On Monday (Jan 13), South Korean news outlets reported that filming has commenced for the upcoming drama series Slowly, Intensely. The 22-episode series marks the first onscreen collaboration between Gong Yoo, 45, and Song Hye-kyo, 43 – two of South Korea's biggest superstars.

South Korea’s Constitutional Court on Tuesday opened the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid, but quickly adjourned the first hearing after he didn’t show up

Met by a wall of armed guards inside South Korea's presidential compound -- and fanatical right-wing supporters outside -- investigators arrived to a scene of high drama as they tried to arrest Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday.

South Korea looks set for a dramatic political showdown this week as impeachment proceedings kick off against suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, who remains holed up in his fortified residence evading arrest for a separate criminal investigation.

South Korea's Constitutional Court adjourned the opening session of the impeachment trial of suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol within minutes on Tuesday, after the embattled leader did not attend court.

South Korea’s anti-corruption agency says impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has been detained hours after hundreds of the agency’s investigators and police officers arrived at his presidential compound to apprehend him.

The development, which followed a failed arrest attempt earlier in January, deepens the fallout from his short-lived declaration of martial law last month.
