Ex-President Yoon to receive 1st court sentence on Fri. over obstruction of justice


We begin this morning with former President Yoon Suk Yeol.. who's set to receive his first court verdict this afternoon over charges tied to his brief declaration of martial law in December 2024. The Seoul Central District Court will hold Yoon's sentencing hearing at 2 PM on charges of obstructing public duty and other violations related to the failed martial law attempt. The court has approved a live broadcast of the hearing, citing strong public interest. Prosecutors say Yoon blocked investigators from detaining him in January 2025, violated the rights of nine Cabinet members by excluding them from a key meeting, and later drafted and destroyed a revised martial law proclamation after the decree was lifted. The ruling comes just days after a special counsel team sought the death penalty against Yoon on separate insurrection charges.
