Summary

Park Chong-jun, South Korea’s presidential security chief, resigned amid police investigation into his guards’ obstruction of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol’s arrest.

Yoon is accused of attempting martial law in December, leading to charges of insurrection.

Park warned against “bloodshed” if authorities forcibly detain Yoon, who remains in his residence after defying arrest warrants.

A second warrant has been issued as investigators prepare for another attempt.

This crisis has sparked political turmoil, with concerns over escalating tensions between government agencies.

    Weird place to draw the line. I would say an actual military coup is multiple magnitudes more dangerous than a couple dead people. Even if you think a disorganized group of rioters were going to kill some Congressmen, Yoon’s coup actually had plans to use the military to do that.
