The assembly impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol last month, but the Constitutional Court will decide whether to formally dismiss or reinstate him.

After lawyers of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol argued that his arrest on January 15 was unlawful, a photo spread in social media posts falsely claiming it showed a search warrant used to illegally detain him rather than an arrest warrant.

South Korea's arrested President Yoon Suk Yeol did not attend a second day of questioning by investigators on Thursday, further stonewalling a criminal probe into whether he committed insurrection with his bid to impose martial law.
