Decades of ruthless politics fueled by pre-democracy divisions help to explain Yoon Suk Yeol’s disastrous decision to enact military control.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol did not comply with a summons from prosecutors on Sunday, and they plan to issue another order as they investigate his short-lived martial law decree, Yonhap news agency reported.

Impeached President said he will “never give up” and called for officials to maintain stability in government functions during what he described as a “temporary” pause of his presidency.
