South Korea's suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol was slapped with a visitor ban on Jan 19 and once again refused to be questioned by investigators on Jan 20.

SEOUL -
He was placed under formal arrest early on Jan 19 on charges of leading an insurrection and committing abuse of power.
Mr Yoon's legal representatives said "it will be difficult" for him to comply with the interrogation of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), initially slated for 10am.
The arrested leader has been refusing questioning since he was taken into custody on Jan 15, staying silent during the 10-hour investigation that took place on the day he was taken into custody.
The Seoul Western District Court on Jan 19 issued another arrest warrant that will allow the authorities to detain Mr Yoon for the remainder of his legal proceedings.
