Yoon was impeached by the country's parliament last month, and became the first president to be arrested for imposing martial law that lasted six hours.
Yoon said he submitted himself for questioning to avoid any violence after more than 3,000 police officers marched on his residence to arrest him in the early hours of Wednesday.
They encountered the presidential security forces inside. Yoon is currently under criminal investigation for his attempt on 3 December to impose martial law.
A court on Tuesday approved a warrant for the impeached president's arrest over allegations he masterminded insurrection by trying to impose martial law.
