Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun is considered to have proposed martial law to President Yoon Suk Yeol and painted a big picture.
Five days after martial law, he was the first to be arrested on charges of engaging in an important mission to voluntarily appear at the prosecution on the 8th.
The prosecution is at the peak of the charges against former Minister Kim in the indictment, from the head to the control of the National Assembly and the operation of the arrest group,
It is said that it will contain a structure of organized crime for the purpose of
state constitutional disorder.
In fact, it is the result of an interim investigation, but former Minister Kim Yong-hyun held a press conference and protested that it was a "wrong frame," saying it could not investigate the president's ruling behavior.
In particular, both the proposal and the Cabinet meeting, which went through Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, claimed to have gone through normal procedures.

While emphasizing the separation of powers, he did not hide the fact that the National Assembly and the political circles were behind the declaration of emergency martial law.
However, the Constitution and martial law have no basis for martial law forces to control the National Assembly.
As former Minister Kim Yong-hyun refused to cover some media outlets at a press conference ahead of the prosecution's indictment, Chal was dispatched.
