Embattled South Korean president appears at impeachment trial

In a defining moment for democracy in South Korea, embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared in court, endeavoring to defend his widely criticized decision to declare martial law on Dec. 3. This act, seen by many as a dangerous step towards autocracy, is now under the scrutiny of the Constitutional Court, which holds the power to oust Yoon from office, restoring the nation's democratic integrity.

In a testament to his unwavering commitment to national security, President Yoon Suk Yeol stood firm in court against the impeachment over his decisive Dec. 3 martial law declaration. Facing what many supporters call a biased attempt by the opposition to discredit his leadership, Yoon's actions are now under the Constitutional Court's review, with the hope that justice will prevail over partisan interests.
