Well, it's been freezing cold the whole time, I can tell you that. Protesters knew this arrest was coming, so many of them had been there before dawn. They were at Yun's residence, which is on a hillside next to a major street, and there were more than 3,000 police and anti-corruption investigators there to execute an arrest warrant, which is a lot more than their first try.

There were also ruling party lawmakers there trying to block police. It got chaotic. There were some tussles, but luckily there was no serious violence.

Well, today and throughout this crisis, South Korea's vibrant political protest culture has been on full display. People across the political spectrum taking to the streets to defend democracy. Just after Yoon's arrest was announced, the anti-Yoon campaign erupted in cheering. Police were keeping the pro and anti-Yoon camps apart.

I spoke to a 24-year-old student named Min Seo-won, who was both elated and relieved that there was no fighting. Let's hear her now.

I was really worried about such a situation, she said. I'm worried about what would happen if there was gunfire. But I'm so relieved that there was thankfully no such situation and that Yoon Sung-yeol is finally detained, although it took a long time.

Well, since the last attempt, Yoon's security detail fortified the residence with buses and barbed wire. Police had to scale those buses with ladders to get in, and the presidential security detail had said they'd fight to the finish. But before that, before the arrest, their leaders were charged with obstructing official duties. So in the end, they did not get in the way.

There was a standoff as Yoon's lawyers negotiated with authorities. Then he was taken away for questioning. Yoon himself is a prosecutor. He remains silent under questioning. Authorities now have 48 hours to seek a formal arrest warrant for him or release him.
