With an arrest warrant against South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol for alleged insurrection expiring at midnight on Monday, multiple groups held demonstrations near his official residence, some urging his immediate arrest while others protested against it. Yoon became the country's first sitting president to face arrest over his botched attempt to declare martial law on December 3, which triggered political chaos engulfing Asia's fourth-largest economy and a key U.S. ally.

The Seoul Western District Court on Sunday rejected a complaint from Yoon's legal team that the arrest warrant was illegal and invalid, Yonhap news agency reported. Calls to the court seeking comment went unanswered. Yoon's lawyers have said the warrant was unconstitutional because the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO), which leads his criminal investigation, has no authority under South Korean law to investigate any case involving insurrection allegations.
