SEOUL, South Korea— A major political and security crisis has erupted in South Korea as investigations and arrests continue in connection with the alleged failed attempt by former President Yoon Suk Yeol to impose Martial Law in December 2024. This explosive development has raised serious concerns about the stability of the nation’s democratic institutions.
According to Arab media reports, the former Prime Minister, Hwang Kyo-ahn, and the former head of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), Tae Yong-choo, have been detained in connection with this alleged coup attempt.
Former PM Hwang was arrested yesterday on the grave charge of incitement to rebellion. Meanwhile, former Intelligence Chief Tae Yong-choo faces accusations of violating the NIS law, breach of trust, and failing to report crucial information to the National Assembly in a timely manner. Specifically, Tae Yong-choo is accused of having knowledge of the plan to impose Martial Law but deliberately withholding this information from the National Assembly.
Alleged Ploy to Incite Military Conflict
A deeply alarming detail has emerged from the investigation: former President Yoon is accused of attempting to incite a military conflict between South and North Korea to create the necessary conditions for declaring Martial Law. Investigators claim that in October 2024, unarmed drones were allegedly sent into North Korean territory to manufacture a pretext for the Martial Law decree. During this operation, one drone reportedly crashed near the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, which investigators say exposed military secrets. These revelations not only complicate South Korea’s internal political crisis but also threaten the fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula.
