News brief

Chief of South Korean presidential guards resigns. South Korea’s acting leader on Jan. 10 accepted the resignation of the chief of the presidential security service, Park Jong-joon. Mr. Park faced police questioning over how his forces blocked law enforcement efforts to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on Jan. 3. Corruption investigators and police are planning a second attempt to bring Mr. Yoon into custody as they jointly investigate whether his brief martial law declaration on Dec. 3 amounted to an attempted rebellion. It wasn’t immediately clear how Mr. Park’s resignation would affect the push to bring Mr. Yoon into custody.
