In a historic move, South Korea's Ministry of Justice imposed a travel ban on President Yoon Suk-yeol 🇰🇷, marking the first time a sitting leader has been barred from leaving the country. The decision follows investigations into last week’s chaotic martial law declaration and allegations of insurrection.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials requested the ban as part of its probe, which also targets four military and political figures tied to the crisis. Meanwhile, the opposition Democratic Party of Korea pushed for special counsel investigations into both Yoon’s actions and alleged scandals involving First Lady Kim Keon-hee.
🤯 Tensions deepened as Kim Hyun-tae, commander of the elite 707th Special Mission Group, claimed his troops were \"victims\" following orders during the National Assembly raid. Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, arrested Sunday, faces fresh questioning over treason charges.
Despite the turmoil, defense officials confirm Yoon retains military authority as commander-in-chief—raising questions about accountability in a nation now gripped by political whiplash ⚡.
