President Yoon Suk Yeol has appointed a legal defense team to handle his impeachment trial and investigations related to his brief imposition of martial law, his representatives said Friday.

Other members of the legal defense team include its chief, Kim Hong-il, former head of the Korea Communications Commission, and Yun Gap-geun, former chief of the Daegu High Prosecutors Office, who will handle communications.
