According to Yonhap News Agency on the 12th, South Korea's second comprehensive special inspection team indicted former President Yoon Seok-yeol and former head of the National Security Service Shin Won-si on the same day for spreading “information justifying emergency martial law.” The number of criminal litigation cases involving Yoon Seok-yook has successively increased to 9. The special inspection team said that after announcing the “12.3” emergency martial law, Yoon Seok-yeol is suspected of immediately passing instructions through the National Security Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convey information about “emergency martial law is proper” to the US, Britain, Japan, the European Union, etc., and is suspected of abusing authority to hinder the exercise of rights, that is, abusing authority to force civil servants to perform non-compulsory work. The special inspection team also said that the day after martial law, Shin Won-suk, along with Kim Tae-hyo, the former first head of the National Security Office, made a request to the National Intelligence Service to “explain the background of emergency martial law to friendly countries” and conveyed Yoon Seok-yeol's message. The special inspection team believes that Shen Yuan's actions made civil servants belonging to departments such as the National Security Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs perform jobs they are not obligated to undertake. As of this case, Yoon Seok-yeol has been involved in 9 criminal lawsuits, 1 of which has completed a final verdict, but the core case of Yoon Seok-yook, the leader of the civil unrest in the series, is still being tried in the second instance by the Seoul High Court.
