South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol denied insurrection charges on the last day of his trial, claiming they were fabricated. His December 2024 attempt to impose martial law led to a political crisis. Supporters protested against his potential impeachment, while opponents opposed his policies. The trial's outcome could result in his destitution and new elections.
