South Korean authorities detained impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol early Wednesday, the country’s anti-corruption agency announced, following a tense, five-hour standoff at his heavily guarded mountain compound in Seoul.
Wow - a sitting president arrested!
What a crazy concept, prosecuting a person based on their crimes regardless of their position in government
SK over here setting examples for other places in the world.

A wide stretch to call this a first for South Korea. Virtually half of their Presidents ended very poorly (imprisonment/death/suicide): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_South_Korea
Perhaps the first impeached and arrested under the rule of law and not by coup, revolt, assassination, or regime change?
I dunno, this isn’t Star Wars so I know very little about it
