Seoul: A special counsel team revealed Monday that evidence has been uncovered indicating that a military unit was preparing for martial law operations in the first half of 2024, well before former President Yoon Suk Yeol's announcement in December of that year. Assistant special counsel Kim Ji-mi disclosed this information during a briefing, highlighting the findings as part of the ongoing investigation.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the special counsel team is focused on investigating allegations surrounding the ousted former president, particularly his unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law. This investigation delves into areas that previous special counsels have not explored, seeking to shed light on the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the controversial declaration.
