Seoul: South Korea's presidential security chief resigned Friday as he faced questioning over why his guards prevented the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, and as investigators prepared to make a fresh arrest attempt.
Yoon last week resisted arrest in a standoff between his guards and investigators after his short-lived power grab on December 3 plunged South Korea into its worst political crisis in decades.
Yoon's Presidential Security Service (PSS) chief Park Chong-jun -- a former police officer -- submitted his resignation on Friday morning "as he attended a police questioning", a PSS official told AFP.
It was later accepted by acting president Choi Sang-mok, an official from the interim leader's office told reporters.
