US EditionSouth Korea ex-President Yoon probed over failed martial law bid
- On June 28, 2025, former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared in Seoul for questioning by a special prosecutor investigating his unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law.
- The summons occurred as the investigation intensified into Yoon's unsuccessful December 2024 effort to declare martial law, which eventually led to his impeachment and removal by the Constitutional Court in April 2025.
- Yoon’s legal team objected to being questioned in front of the media, arguing that the probe was driven by political bias and contained many inaccuracies, while Yoon himself declined to speak to reporters upon his arrival.
- In early June, the special prosecutor assembled a team of over 200 prosecutors to handle ongoing investigations involving Yoon. Although they requested a detention order due to his earlier failure to respond to summons, the court denied this request after Yoon demonstrated a willingness to cooperate.
- Yoon's trial for leading the brief martial law declaration continues, and if his impeachment is upheld within 180 days of December 14, a snap election must be held within 60 days, indicating ongoing political uncertainty.
