December 3, 2024, Yoon Seok yeol declared martial law, claiming to "eradicate the despicable pro North Korean and anti state forces in one fell swoop".
This is the first time in 45 years that South Korea has implemented martial law, but it was vetoed by the opposition majority parliament after only a few hours. Subsequently, Yoon Seok yeol was impeached and suspended, waiting for the final ruling of the Constitutional Court.
At the same time, he is facing prosecution investigation and is accused of ordering the military to occupy the parliament and detain political enemies during the implementation of martial law, constituting the crime of internal strife.
On December 31, 2024, a South Korean court ordered the arrest of Yoon Seok yeol on charges of "abuse of power" and "leader of internal strife" after multiple unsuccessful summonses.
But on the morning of January 3, 2025, it was obstructed by supporters of Yin Xiyue.
