Seoul, South Korea—South Korea’s constitutional court kicked off proceedings on Monday over the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been suspended from office over his failed bid to impose martial law.
The prosecution said in a news release on Sunday they had summoned Yoon for questioning over the insurrection allegations “but he refused to comply.” Demonstrators in both camps have vowed to keep up the pressure as the Constitutional Court mulls Yoon’s fate. Kwak is accused of sending special forces troops to parliament during the martial law bid, sparking a dramatic confrontation between soldiers and parliamentary staff.
Acting president Han held a call on Sunday with US President Joe Biden, who underscored the strength of bilateral ties.
