As the South Korean Constitutional Court’s impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol heads toward its finish, a second trial has opened at the Seoul District Court, in which the president is charged with the crime of insurrection.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach and was indicted on criminal charges for declaring martial law last December, was cleared to be released from detention on Friday.

President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was released following the court's cancellation of his detention, is expected to refrain from external activities for the time being and wait for the Constitutional Court's ruling.
