Special counsel urges appeals court to uphold Yoon's election law conviction

The special counsel team has formally requested that the Seoul High Court uphold President Yoon Suk-yeol's conviction on election law violations, a move that escalates the legal pressure on the sitting president. The appeal's outcome could determine whether Yoon remains in office, as a final conviction would trigger his removal. The case is a significant test of judicial independence and political accountability in South Korea.
