In a twist straight out of a K-drama, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is gearing up to submit a written opinion to the Seoul Western District Court. 🚀 According to Yonhap News Agency, Yoon's representatives announced on Monday that he's also appointing defense counsel to tackle the arrest warrant drama unfolding around him.
The plot thickens with Yoon Kab-keun, a lawyer and former prosecutor, confirming that President Yoon's written opinion will hit the court later today. The stakes are high as the joint investigation unit has sought an arrest warrant over Yoon's brief imposition of martial law earlier this month. 😱
\"We will be submitting the appointment letter for President Yoon's defense counsel to the court,\" Yoon Kab-keun shared. The legal showdown comes after the joint investigation unit accused the now-suspended president of insurrection and abuse of power, especially after he ghosted three summonses for questioning. 👀
The Seoul court is set to make a critical decision on whether to issue the arrest warrant following the investigators' request. All eyes are on the courtroom as the nation's political landscape hangs in the balance. ⚖️
President Yoon isn't backing down, though. He's previously denied all charges, asserting that his declaration of martial law was merely an \"act of governance\" to call out what he saw as the opposition party's overreach of legislative power. 💥
Stay tuned, folks! This real-life political saga is unfolding faster than our favorite Netflix binge. 🍿
