South Korea's former defense minister, Kim Yong Hyun, has been formally arrested for his alleged role in colluding with President Yoon Suk Yeol to impose martial law. The arrest follows a broader investigation by the South Korean prosecutor's office and the anti-corruption agency into whether the imposition of martial law last week constitutes rebellion. President Yoon Suk Yeol, who recently survived an impeachment vote, is also under investigation for his role in the decree.
