Former President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered Lt. Gen. Kwak Jong-keun, who was the head of the Army Special Warfare Command during martial law on Dec. 3 last year, to capture former People Power Party leader Han Dong‑hoon and certain other politicians so that he could “shoot and kill” them, the soldier said on Monday.
“Yoon named Han Dong-hoon and some other politicians, then said, ‘Bring them before me,’ and ‘I’ll shoot them dead if I must,’” Kwak said at the Seoul Central District Court in southern Seoul. Yoon denied the allegation, saying they were “entirely untrue,” according to his legal team.
Kwak made the remarks while testifying in Yoon’s trial, in which the former president faces charges of leading an insurrection. Yoon made the statement during a dinner at the presidential residence following the Armed Forces Day event on Oct. 1, 2024, according to Kwak.
I can’t imagine what the situation in the US would have been had he succeeded. Between this and selling out the Korean nuclear industry to Westinghouse, Yoon really does deserve to be South Korea’s first death row inmate in decades.
Lee may not be perfect but for what he did on the night of the coup and what he’s been accomplishing as president, he deserves the support of the Korean people.
