There were angry scenes in South Korea after President Yoon's short-lived attempt to impose martial law. NBC News' Janis Mackey Frayer reports from Seoul.
SEOUL, South Korea — The South Korean government on Monday ordered an overseas travel ban on President Yoon Suk Yeol as he faces investigation on possible rebellion charges over a short-lived martial law declaration that plunged the key U.S. ally into chaos last week.
“An investigation is underway in accordance with the process,” he told reporters. Former defense minister Kim Yong-hyun, who has been accused of suggesting the martial law declaration to Yoon and whose resignation Yoon accepted last week, became the first person to be detained in the martial law case after turning himself in around 1 a.m. Sunday local time . Interior Minister Lee Sang-min, who is also under investigation, also offered his resignation Sunday.
