South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk-yeol, languishing in jail following his short-lived attempt to impose martial law, can take comfort in the resurgence of his conservative adherents in the wake of the leftist drive to have him ousted, imprisoned, and possibly executed.

South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been formally arrested, days after being apprehended at his presidential compound in Seoul.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol attended on Tuesday a Constitutional Court hearing of his impeachment trial where he denied ordering military commanders to drag lawmakers out of parliament during his short-lived bid to impose martial law.
