Seoul: Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol met with the leadership of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) at his residence Sunday, a day after he was released from detention, party officials said Monday. Rep. Kwon Young-se, head of the PPP's emergency leadership committee, and PPP floor leader Kweon Seong-dong visited Yoon's official residence in central Seoul for about 30 minutes on Sunday evening, according to party spokesperson Shin Dong-wook.
According to Yonhap News Agency, during the meeting, Yoon shared his experience in detention over tea and thanked the party leaders for steering the party during his absence. Yoon was released from a detention center Saturday after a court canceled his arrest. This decision allows him to stand trial without physical detention over his short-lived imposition of martial law on December 3.
In his impeachment trial, the Constitutional Court is expected to decide in the coming days whether to uphold or dismiss his impeachment.
