Yoon Suk-yeol, South Korea's impeached president, denied allegations of instructing the military to forcibly remove lawmakers from the National Assembly to block a vote against his martial law decree. He claimed his actions were a warning to the opposition, which he accused of undermining the government. Yoon faces separate criminal investigations and has been detained after his martial law declaration led to significant political turmoil and protests. The Constitutional Court will decide his political future by June.
