In South Korea, the arrest of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was impeached and removed from office, is becoming a difficult issue. On August 7, the special prosecutor's office made its second attempt to forcibly take Yoon Suk-yeol from Seoul Detention Center to the interrogation room, but failed. Yoon Suk-yeol's resistance to arrest was extremely violent, causing the arrest process to last nearly 100 minutes and ultimately failing. Several days earlier, on August 1, the special investigation team first arrested Yoon Suk-yeol, who was not wearing any outer clothing, only his underwear, lying on the ground and rolling around to resist arrest. Yoon Suk-yeol's behavior is seen as a challenge to the bottom line of South Korean democracy. Former South Korean presidents such as Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak have calmly accepted trials and prison sentences, whereas Yoon Suk-yeol chose to fight in an undignified manner, which reflects the difficulties of South Korean democratic politics. The current president, Lee Jae-myung, proposed the主张 of 'life imprisonment and no pardon,' which is undoubtedly the logic of 'extreme punishment politics.' Yoon Suk-yeol is trying to prove his innocence by refusing to cooperate with the investigation and refusing to be arrested. Political struggles have surpassed previous political understandings and bottom lines, and Yoon Suk-yeol's undignified behavior has once again lowered the bottom line of South Korean democracy.
