Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol is the latest in a long line of leaders to have their political careers marred by scandal or meet an otherwise unfortunate end.

Yoon Suk Yeol faces insurrection charges and an impeachment trial after trying to impose martial law last month.

Yoon Suk Yeol has become the first sitting president in South Korean history to be arrested by law enforcement agents, after his compound was finally breached on Wednesday by officials investigating his failed attempt to impose martial law.
