Summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol defied a summons from prosecutors investigating him for insurrection and abuse of authority after his failed martial law declaration on December 3.

Yoon, impeached by parliament, faces suspension while the constitutional court reviews his case, with a decision expected within 180 days.

Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung urged swift resolution to stabilize the nation and proposed cooperative measures between government and parliament.

Acting President Han Duck-soo has focused on ensuring security and economic stability, while Yoon rejects allegations, vowing to fight the charges.
