Former South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun Arrested Amid Emergency State Controversy
Kim Yong-hyun, the former Defense Minister of South Korea, has been arrested for his alleged role in declaring a military emergency state. This comes after chaos ensued following President Yoon Suk-yeol’s emergency declaration, which blocked parliamentary actions. Yoon and other ministers face accusations of treason, while he has issued an apology without intentions to resign. The political turmoil has sparked calls for Yoon’s removal, though the opposition failed to gather a sufficient number of votes to initiate the process.
