Former South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun attempted suicide in a detention center using underwear, according to an official from the Ministry of Justice. Kim, who resigned last Wednesday, was arrested on Sunday for his alleged involvement in declaring a state of emergency last week. Military sources claim he encouraged President Yoon Suk-yeol to do so.
President Yoon declared a state of emergency suddenly a week ago, citing dangers posed by North Korea and groups hindering the state's functions, referring to the opposition. The state of emergency was lifted shortly after due to parliamentary intervention.
