Yoon attends final hearing of insurrection trial
Former President Yoon Suk Yeol makes a final statement as he attends the final hearing of his insurrection trial at the Seoul Central District Court in the capital on Jan. 13, 2026, in this photo provided by the court. A special counsel team requested the death penalty for Yoon over his failed imposition of martial law, describing him as the ringleader of an insurrection who sought to stay in power by seizing control of the judiciary and legislature. But Yoon reiterated his claim of innocence, arguing that the exercise of a president's constitutional state emergency right cannot constitute an insurrection. (PHOTO NOT FOR SALE) (Yonhap)
