South Korea's impeached leader Yoon hunkers down in Seoul's 'Beverly Hills'
Behind rows of barbed wire and a small army of personal security, impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol remained holed up in his sprawling hillside villa with his wife, dogs and cats on Tuesday (January 7) as investigators planned his arrest. File satellite images of the area showed a street leading to Yoon's official residence in Hannam-dong, an upscale district popular with business tycoons and celebrities known as Korea's Beverly Hills. Security personnel have since barricaded the street with buses blocking the road and setting up barbed wire. Since parliament voted to impeach and suspend him last month over his short-lived martial law decree on December 3, Yoon has been lying low at his residence. Meanwhile, investigators seeking to question him on allegations of insurrection have struggled to execute a warrant for his arrest. The head of the investigation unit, blocked by a human chain of hundreds of presidential security service and military guards outside his residence last week, said on Tuesday they remained determined to bring him in.
