Former Minister Kim is a person who directly proposed declaring an emergency martial law to President Yoon and is suspected of being involved in the use of troops from the National Assembly and the National Election Commission and the operation of arrest groups targeting politicians.
Former Minister Kim was arrested and arrested on the 8th, five days after martial law, after voluntarily attending the prosecution for questioning.
Former Minister Kim held a press conference yesterday (26th) and protested that declaring martial law was an illegal investigation, saying it was a unique act of governance by the president.
