(CIO), the National Office of Investigation (NOI), and the Defense Ministry&#8217;s investigative unit\u2014confirmed the reissuance of the warrant in an official statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Seoul Western District Court issued the new warrant after the initial one expired on Monday, following unsuccessful attempts to detain Yoon last week. <\/p>\n<p>This makes Yoon the first sitting president in South Korea to face an arrest warrant, a development highlighting the intensifying legal challenges against him.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest that the newly issued warrant may have a longer validity period than the first, which was valid for seven days.<\/p>\n<p>CIO investigators and police attempted to arrest impeached President Yoon at the presidential residence on January 3, but the effort was thwarted by the presidential security service.<\/p>\n<p>Yoon&#8217;s impeachment, approved by the National Assembly on December 14, suspended his presidential powers and is under constitutional court review for up to 180 days.<\/p>\n<p>Accused of leading an insurrection, Yoon declared martial law on December 3, though it was swiftly overturned by the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The case continues to draw
