Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea's president, has denied ordering the arrest of lawmakers during his attempt to impose martial law. Parliament had voted to impeach him in December, and the Constitutional Court began a trial to decide whether to permanently remove him from office.
I am a person who has lived with a firm belief in liberal democracy.
If I had obstructed (the vote), I think I wouldn't have been able to handle the consequences.
Since coming of age, I have lived with a firm belief in liberal democracy until this very day, and especially during my time in public service.
As the Constitutional Court exists to safeguard the constitution, I ask that you thoroughly examine all aspects of this case.
