Senior ROK Generals Dismissed from the Military Over Martial Law Scandal
These generals despite being dismissed from the military are still being tried in civilian court and could be jailed:
The defense ministry said Monday it has decided to take “severe” disciplinary action against five senior Army officers for their involvement in former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s failed bid to impose martial law last year.
The decision came after the ministry held a committee meeting earlier this month to decide on disciplinary action against eight senior Army officers — seven generals and one colonel — involved in the martial law bid on Dec. 3 last year. (…..)
Yeo and Lee are believed to face removal from office, the toughest level of disciplinary action.
Kwak is said to face dismissal, the second-highest level of punishment imposed, in consideration of his efforts to help restore constitutional order and uncover the truth behind the martial law through testimonies at Yoon’s trials.
Meanwhile, a former Army vice chief of staff was also reportedly handed the second-highest level of disciplinary action, while a colonel with the Defense Counterintelligence Command was given a two-month suspension.

I really despise the fact that this Commie govt is overusing and abusing the term “insurrection/내란” to literally wipe out Yoon and his previous administration.. on the contrary, I’d say Lee and his administration are doing worse..
