Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared before prosecutors on Oct. 15, 2025, over charges tied to his December 2024 martial law declaration.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol voluntarily appeared before prosecutors on October 15, 2025, ahead of a court-ordered detention warrant, marking a shift from his previous refusal to comply with summonses. He faces charges related to his December 2024 martial law declaration, including insurrection, abuse of power, and allegedly using drones near North Korea to provoke a response. A Seoul court rejected an arrest warrant for former Justice Minister Park Sung-jae, citing insufficient evidence of flight risk or evidence tampering, though prosecutors plan to reapply. The case continues to test South Korea’s democratic accountability amid ongoing legal scrutiny of top officials involved in the failed martial law attempt.
