(2nd LD) Special counsel seeks formal arrest of ex-PM Hwang over alleged insurrection incitement

Yonhap | English | News | Nov. 14, 2025 | Political Scandal or Corruption

A special counsel team sought a formal arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn on November 12, 2025, over charges of inciting an insurrection related to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law bid. Hwang, who served under former President Park Geun-hye, made Facebook posts after Yoon's brief martial law on December 3 calling to root out pro-North Korea forces and alleged electoral fraud participants. He also called for the arrest of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik and former People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon.

Investigators executed a detention warrant at Hwang's Seoul residence in Yongsan Ward after he ignored three summonses to appear for questioning. Hwang was questioned by the special counsel from 10:40 a.m. until 5 p.m., then sent to the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang. The special counsel, led by Cho Eun-suk, is investigating charges related to Yoon's martial law attempt, including suggesting martial law declaration, preparing detention facilities, plotting insurrection, and inciting insurrection.

The investigation into Hwang started following a complaint by an online news outlet. Authorities attempted multiple times to search his home but were initially unsuccessful as Hwang refused entry. His detention allowed police to finally conduct a search and seizure at his residence.
