Police are enacting an arrest warrant placed on the disgraced president after he was charged with insurrection over his failed attempt to impose martial law.
Authorities swarming around the home are now engaging in a tense standoff with the president’s security service.
Yoon’s staff are said to have fortified the luxury villa in anticipation of another arrest attempt.
A large defensive barrier appears to have been built around the gates by parking up buses, vans and cars to block off the entrance.
Loyal supporters of Yoon have even created their own blockade using themselves as human shields, reports Yonhap News Agency.
