“Several potential courses of action remain on the table,” said The Guardian. Officials could attempt to arrest Yoon again as the warrant doesn’t expire until 6 January, although they could also apply for an extension. They could also “bypass further direct confrontation” with a pre-trial detention warrant, although this could face similar challenges if Yoon failed to comply.

In a statement after the arrest was suspended, Yoon’s legal team claimed the warrant was “an illegal, invalid warrant” and vowed to take legal action, said CNN. Supporters also gathered outside the presidential compound holding signs reading “Stop the Steal”, printed in English, and waving US flags.
