South Korea's former first lady, Kim Keon Hee, and former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo face indictments. Kim is charged with financial and political crimes, including bribery. Han is accused of aiding ousted President Yoon Suk-Yeol's attempt to impose martial law, considered a rebellion. Yoon, removed from office in April, is also under investigation, along with several military and police officials. The investigations stem from three special prosecutor inquiries launched by the current government. Kim plans to plead her case in court, while Han denies supporting Yoon's martial law plan.
