In December 2024, then-South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol made a botched attempt at imposing military rule to reassert his leadership. That was overturned six hours later, after lawmakers defied armed police and military to gather inside parliament and vote down the decree. Yoon was subsequently impeached by parliament, arrested and charged with multiple offences. Thursday's verdict - on the charge of leading an insurrection - was in relation to the most serious of those charges. He still faces further trials from aiding an enemy state to violating campaign law. Other officials were also found guilty of offences; our earlier post has the full list, which includes his defence minister Kim Yong-hyun, as well as an ex-police chief.
