South Korea’s defense intelligence commander has been indicted for his alleged role in a failed attempt to declare martial law during a political crisis last year, prosecutors confirmed Monday. The move is linked to impeached former President Yoon Suk-yeol, whose administration reportedly sought emergency measures amid growing public unrest on December 3.
Yonhap News Agency revealed the commander allegedly backed plans to deploy military forces to suppress protests—a move critics call a 'dangerous overreach' threatening democracy. The indictment adds fuel to ongoing debates about accountability in South Korea’s leadership.
Analysts say the scandal highlights lingering tensions between reformists and conservative factions. 'This isn’t just about one person—it’s about safeguarding institutions,' said Seoul-based political expert Lee Ji-hyun.
The case has drawn global attention amid rising concerns over democratic backsliding in Asia. How will this impact South Korea’s alliances and economic policies? Stay tuned for updates as the trial unfolds.
