An unidentified man tragically passed away after setting himself on fire near South Korea’s corruption investigation office, where impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was being questioned over insurrection allegations.
The incident occurred around 8 PM local time, and the man was rushed to the hospital but later died. At the time of the incident, protests against Yoon’s arrest were ongoing outside the offices. Yoon is under investigation for his role in a criminal insurrection case, which he claims to be cooperating with to avoid further violence.
