Former South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun attempted to take his own life while in detention, following his arrest on charges related to a failed martial law declaration.
The attempt, made using his underwear, occurred in a Seoul detention facility and was thwarted by officials.
Kim is accused of rebellion and abuse of power for advising President Yoon Suk-yeol to impose martial law on December 3, 2024, to suppress a parliamentary vote.
The martial law was lifted within six hours due to strong opposition from lawmakers and public backlash.
This incident has intensified scrutiny on President Yoon, with opposition parties calling for his impeachment. If Yoon were to step down, the Prime Minister would assume leadership until an election is held.
Legal proceedings against Kim and other involved officials are ongoing, with rebellion charges carrying a potential death sentence under South Korean law.
