This controversial assertion is central to the ongoing legal proceedings.

In a high-stakes legal confrontation, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's attorney, Yoon Kab-keun, challenged the legitimacy of an arrest warrant issued against the president.
The warrant claims that Yoon's declaration of martial law on December 3 constituted an act of rebellion. However, his legal team contends it was a necessary measure, not insurrection.
This defense is pivotal as observers closely watch how the country's judicial system will navigate the complex interplay of law and governance.
