South Korea's President Yoon attends impeachment trial for the first time

03:11 Min

South Korea's suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol showed up for his impeachment trial for the first time today, striking a defiant tone as the court grilled him over his failed martial law bid. The Constitutional Court must complete all hearings and issue a sentence within 180 days. This means that the deadline stands at June 11. If the court rules against Mr Yoon, he will lose his presidency and elections will be called within 60 days. Grace Shin reports.
