Han Dong Hoo claims in new memoir he and party colleagues feared they would be arrested or even killed
Yoon Suk Yeol, the South Korean president, faced accusations from Han Dong Hoo, the former leader of his ruling party, that he discussed imposing martial law during private gatherings with lawmakers. Han detailed these claims in his memoir, which became a bestseller. Yoon declared martial law on December 3, 2022, but it was overturned by the National Assembly within six hours. Yoon defended his actions, stating the military deployment was to maintain order. However, some military commanders testified that Yoon aimed to prevent lawmakers from overturning his decree, which Yoon denies.
