Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is preparing to deliver his closing statement in a Constitutional Court trial concerning his impeachment linked to a martial law declaration from December. If upheld, Yoon would be ousted from office before completing his term, necessitating a presidential election within 60 days. Yoon maintains that his actions were intended to alert against parliamentary abuses, portraying no harm resulted. Concurrently, he faces insurrection charges in a separate trial, a situation unprecedented for a sitting South Korean president.
Yoon argued he meant to sound an alarm over parliamentary abuse, not impose military rule, insisting nothing harmful occurred during the attempted martial law declaration.
The South Korean parliament contends Yoonâs judgment is flawed and that reinstating him could lead to further abuses, given his actions during the martial law attempt.
