South Korea 's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol is willing to present his views himself during legal proceedings related to his short-lived declaration of martial law, a lawyer advising Yoon said on Thursday. The lawyer, Seok Dong-hyeon, also told reporters that multiple - seemingly overlapping - investigations involving Yoon should be streamlined. 'He (Yoon) has already apologised for surprising and shocking the public, and he remains apologetic for that...
but he has a clear and confident position on the issues that are in dispute and must be addressed,' Seok told a briefing, adding Yoon had never even considered insurrection. Yoon was impeached by parliament in a vote last Saturday over his botched imposition of martial law, and faces a Constitutional Court trial on whether to remove him from office or restore his presidential powers
