Kim Myung-soo, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), appeared before special prosecutors Wednesday for questioning over his alleged involvement in an insurrection related to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's imposition of martial law.
The second comprehensive special counsel team led by Kwon Chang-young began questioning Kim as a suspect in the morning on suspicion of performing key duties under the short-lived martial law imposed Dec. 3, 2024, which a Seoul district court has ruled had led to an insurrection, sentencing the former president to life imprisonment.
