SEOUL: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol did not appear on Saturday for questioning by a special counsel team over his alleged interference in a military probe into the 2023 death of a young Marine.

Special counsel Lee Myeong-hyeon's team summoned Yoon on Monday, ordering him to appear for questioning at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The special counsel team previously demanded his appearance on October 23, but the former president did not comply, citing the trial schedules of his lawyers.
