In an unprecedented move, Kim Yong-hyun, former South Korean defense minister, was arrested as prosecutors investigate his involvement in a controversial martial law declaration.
The swift political upheaval following the martial law declaration has led to attempts by opposition parties to impeach President Yoon, showcasing deep political divides in the nation.
While being involved in the martial law decision, Kim asserted in an interview that the processes for declaring it were adhered to legally, yet opposition claims of insurrection linger.
Prosecutors must follow up with a court warrant for Kim's arrest within two days, reflecting the legal framework surrounding emergency detentions amid serious criminal allegations.
