#BREAKING #SouthKorea South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has been charged with insurrection after attempting to declare martial law in December. After a Seoul court declined to extend his detention on Saturday, prosecutors had until Monday to charge or release him. 

Han Min-soo, a spokesman for the main opposition Democratic Party, stated, "The punishment of the ringleader of insurrection now begins finally." 

The Constitutional Court is currently considering whether to dismiss or reinstate Yoon. He will stand trial alongside former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun and senior military commanders, accused of aiding in the power seizure attempt.
