Protesters gather in support of Yoon

​South Korea's anti-corruption agency said its team faced resistance from the presidential security service, which blocked their access to Yoon’s residence, citing concerns for their safety. The agency expressed "serious regret" over Yoon's refusal to comply with the legal process, calling his actions a gross violation of police conduct rules.

They stated that detaining Yoon while he is under the protection of the presidential security service was "virtually impossible," and the agency vowed to demand that the acting leader, Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok, instruct the service to allow the execution of the detention warrant.
