Prosecutor Seeks Death for Ex-President Yoon

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is in big trouble.

He declared martial law in December 2024, which is like a special emergency rule.

The government says he did this to stay in power and stop other politicians from doing their jobs.

Now, a special prosecutor wants him to get the death penalty.

This is a very serious punishment, and South Korea hasn't used it in a long time.

Yoon says he did it to warn people about the opposition party.

He is also facing other charges and trials.

The court will decide his fate in February 2026.

It's a big deal because no South Korean president has faced the death penalty after leaving office since 1996.
