South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has indicated that Seoul may issue an apology to North Korea following court findings that former President Yoon Suk-yeol deliberately provoked tensions to maintain his political power. Speaking at a press conference in Seoul on December 3, Lee said he believes an apology is appropriate but expressed concern that such a move could be politically exploited or labeled as pro-North. Yoon is accused of ordering drones carrying propaganda leaflets into North Korean airspace to incite conflict. His administration’s actions, including a controversial martial law declaration, triggered mass protests and a constitutional crisis. The Supreme Court later ruled the martial law unconstitutional, leading to Yoon’s impeachment and removal from office. He is currently in prison awaiting trial on multiple charges, including insurrection. Lee’s remarks come amid renewed debate over accountability for past provocations and the future of inter-Korean relations.
