Former South Korean minister attempted suicide: An investigation into the imposition of martial law in South Korea is ongoing. Meanwhile, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who was arrested in the case, attempted suicide. The situation was brought under control Tuesday night after Kim Jong Un was found trying to hang himself with a rope made of underwear in a bathroom at the Eastern Detention Center in eastern Seoul, according to police. The police said in a statement that the former defense minister had attempted suicide but had been rescued and was in stable condition.
Police have arrested
Shin Yong Hye, director of South Korea’s Correctional Service, said Kim Jong-un tried to commit suicide but was saved. Kim was arrested on Wednesday after a court in Seoul issued an arrest warrant for him, accusing him of playing a key role in martial law and abuse of power. Kim was the first person arrested after martial law was declared on December 3.
Political unrest caused by martial law
Notably, Yun and his associates currently face rebellion charges. Many people, including the president, are subject to travel bans. President Yun Suk-yeol declared emergency martial law on Tuesday (December 3) night, but it was revoked after parliament voted against it on Wednesday. Martial law was imposed for only a few hours. The martial law incident shook national politics.
