With assistance from Yeol’s own People Power party, the opposition Democratic Party-dominated parliament lifted martial law and impeached Yeol on December 14.

Prosecutors charged him with being the leader of an uprising on Sunday. According to the prosecution, his martial law order was an act of revolt. In a statement, Yeol’s attorneys claimed that “(The) President’s designation of emergency martial law was a desperate cry to the public over a national crisis caused by the opposition growing out of hand.

Regarding the indictment, the prosecution made no remarks. Insurrection is not immune to the nation’s patriarch. Yeol can be sentenced to life in prison or even death if found guilty. It’s been decades since South Korea carried out an execution.

The indictment is “the worst choice,” according to his attorneys. Yeol is currently in prison and solitary confinement after previously resisting arrest when his security guards fought the prosecution’s attempt to arrest him.

In the matter currently pending before the Constitutional Court, Yeol’s attorneys have contested the impeachment by parliament. The court has 180 days to determine whether parliament’s impeachment of Yeol is lawful and whether he may be reinstated. Attorneys for Yeol have contended in court that Yeol had stated.
