The South Korean Ministry of National Defense is investigating military personnel related to the December 3rd insurrection and has revealed new evidence implicating former President Yoon Suk-yeol in military orders post the National Assembly's decision to lift martial law.
The South Korean Ministry of National Defense announced that it has identified 180 military personnel involved in the December 3rd insurrection, either directly or indirectly, and is pursuing legal action against them. Notably, details emerged indicating that former president Yoon Suk-yeol issued orders for troop movements related to a potential 'second martial law' after the National Assembly had voted to lift the initial declaration of martial law. The investigation aims to clarify many ambiguities regarding the military's exact role and movements during the insurrection, with the defense minister emphasizing the need to turn the page on this painful chapter in history to prevent future tragedies like military coups or violent crackdowns such as the Gwangju massacre.
