South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol attended the sixth impeachment hearing on 6 February, 2025, amid ongoing accusations of ordering military actions against lawmakers during his controversial martial law declaration.

A senior South Korean military commander has testified in court that he was asked how to cut electricity to parliament during last year’s failed martial law attempt by impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

With the passing of “engagement,” the mood had darkened considerably in Seoul, mirroring a new, bellicose swagger evident around the world among the leading democracies. Confrontation with increasing arms races, demonstrations of strength, and allied summitry were the order of the day.

South Korea's impeached prime minister told parliament on Thursday that "everyone" in a hastily-arranged meeting of ministers expressed concerns about President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law plan before he announced it on December 3.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been arrested and suspended from duties over his declaration of martial law, was in court again Tuesday for hearings that will decide whether to officially remove him from office.

A top South Korean military commander said on Tuesday he trusted President Yoon Suk Yeol to be making a legitimate decision when he declared martial law, but declined to say if the impeached leader gave orders to "drag" lawmakers out of parliament.

Yonhap news agency says South Korean prosecutors have indicted the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law.
