South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on Wednesday, accusing the opposition of threatening the country's democracy and national stability.

The article discusses the arrest of South Korea's former Defense Minister, Suh Wook, in connection with a scandal involving allegations of planning martial law during the 2017 impeachment of then-President Park Geun-hye. This arrest comes after President Yoon Suk Yeol survived an impeachment attempt, highlighting ongoing political tensions in South Korea. Suh Wook, along with other high-ranking military officials, is accused of conspiring to impose martial law to suppress the massive protests that led to Park's ousting. The case has reignited debates about military involvement in politics and the integrity of democratic processes in the country. The investigation into these events has been extensive, involving scrutiny of military documents and testimonies from various officials, aiming to uncover the extent of the plot and its implications for South Korean democracy.
