A six-hour standoff ensued at Yoon's official residence in Seoul, leading authorities to withdraw due to safety concerns.
Yoon's supporters gathered outside his residence, vowing to protect him and denouncing the impeachment process as unjust.
The Corruption Investigation Office expressed regret over Yoon's refusal to comply with legal procedures while planning to investigate obstructing officials.
The warrant for Yoon’s arrest remains valid for one week, prompting speculation about future attempts to detain him.
