Former President Yoon Suk Yeol attended the eighth hearing of his insurrection trial Monday, but was tight-lipped on a new investigation by independent counsels over his failed martial law bid.

Yoon arrived at the Seoul Central District Court around 10 a.m. to attend the eighth hearing of his insurrection trial on charges of leading an insurrection and abusing his power through his Dec. 3 imposition of martial law.

It was Yoon's first trial after his case was transferred to the special counsel team, led by Cho Eun-suk, last week.

Yoon also did not respond to questions about corruption allegations involving his wife, Kim Keon Hee.

An assistant special counsel attended the court for the first time to pursue the indictment.
