EPA-EFE/SOUTH KOREA PRESIDENT OFFICE / YONHAP / HANDOUT

South Korean police have launched an investigation into President Yoon Suk-yeol for alleged "insurrection" due to his short-lived attempt at imposing martial law, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.

Woo Jong-soo, head of the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency, was quoted by AFP as having told lawmakers that "the case has been assigned." The investigation was opened due to two complaints, one filed by the minor opposition Rebuilding Korea Party and another filed by a group of 59 activists, Yonhap said.

The complaints accused Yoon, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who was replaced earlier today, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Park An-su and Interior Minister Lee Sang-min for treason and other related charges.
