Overview

• The Seoul Central District Court scheduled the bail hearing for 10:30 a.m. Friday, immediately after the first session of Yoon’s second trial.
• Yoon filed for bail last week, citing health concerns and his right to prepare his defense.
• Prosecutors said Yoon has been detained since a July rearrest tied to his failed December martial law declaration and he is already on trial on insurrection-related charges.
• The new trial centers on allegations that he violated cabinet members’ rights and created a revised proclamation following the martial law announcement.
• The special counsel summoned Yoon for questioning Wednesday about an alleged drone dispatch to Pyongyang, and investigators said they may consider another summons if he does not appear.
