South Korea's arrested President Yoon Suk Yeol does not intend to take part in a second day of questioning on Thursday, his lawyer said, further stonewalling a criminal probe into whether he committed insurrection with his martial law bid.

SOUTH Korea’s arrested President Yoon Suk-yeol failed to attend a second day of questioning by investigators on Thursday (Jan 16), further stonewalling a criminal probe into whether he committed insurrection with his martial law bid.

South Korea's impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was sent to a detention center near Seoul on Wednesday night, after being questioned by anti-corruption officials who took him into custody over his imposition of martial law last month.
