South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's security chief said on Friday the impeached leader, who faces arrest over a criminal probe into his Dec. 3 martial law bid, has been unfairly treated for a sitting leader and warned bloodshed must be avoided.

The suspended President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, has barricaded himself in his residence. Law enforcement promises to execute a renewed arrest warrant, Reuters reports. As noted, the Presidential Security Service (PSS) of South Korea reinforced Yoon Suk Yeol's compound this week with barbed wire and barricades.
