SEOUL: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife, Kim Keon Hee, were set to appear in court Friday in their separate trials, the first time both have appeared on the same day since their arrests.
Yoon is scheduled to attend one of his trials related to his failed martial law imposition in December over his alleged attempt to obstruct his detention by investigators in January and involvement in deleting secure phone records from servers.
Kim, the former first lady, is standing trial for corruption and other charges, including her alleged involvement in a stock manipulation scheme and the meddling of candidate nominations for elections.
Yoon had not attended his two martial law trials since being placed under arrest a second time in July but recently resumed his court appearances as key witnesses began to testify.
