President Lee Jae-Myung said there is still work to be done to address the fallout of the failed martial law bid by his predecessor a year ago, and the country needs to ensure the perpetrators were brought to justice.
Marking the first anniversary of the shock announcement of martial law on Dec 3, 2024, Lee said former president Yoon Suk-Yeol’s action had threatened an irreparable setback to the country, but the people rose up and stopped the military with their bare hands.
