This is the first time a sitting South Korean president has faced an arrest warrant. On Monday, South Korean law enforcement officials requested the warrant. The president’s lawyer, Yoon Kab-keun, called the issuance of an arrest warrant “illegal and invalid,” while speaking to reporters Tuesday. An arrest warrant must usually be executed within seven days, but can be extended, according to the CIO. Under South Korean law, at least six out of nine justices must approve an impeachment for it to be upheld.
