Live: Latest updates on South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol after tense stand-off

South Korean investigators with the anti-corruption investigative unit left the presidential residence after failing to arrest the impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol on Friday. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) said the continued confrontation virtually made it impossible to execute the arrest warrant, which was issued by a Seoul court on Tuesday. It marked the first time in the country's modern history that an arrest warrant was issued against a sitting president. South Korea's constitutional court said Friday that it will hold hearings for Yoon's impeachment trial on January 14 and January 16. CGTN brings you the latest.
