00:00South Korean authorities are seeking an arrest warrant for impeached President
00:04Yoon Suk-yol. Law enforcement officials want to detain Yoon over his short-lived
00:09declaration of martial law early this month, a move that led the country's
00:13National Assembly to impeach him. Prosecutors are now investigating
00:17whether his actions amounted to a rebellion. Yoon has so far dodged requests
00:22to appear for questioning and has refused to step down. Under South Korean
00:26law, the president's home cannot be searched, which has stopped authorities
00:30from arresting him.
