Former President Yoon Suk-yeol left the court on the 12th after the morning hearing regarding the 'leader of insurrection charge' without answering any questions from reporters. Former President Yoon also remained silent when entering the court that morning.

That day, reporters asked former President Yoon, who was leaving the court, questions such as, "A witness who attended today's hearing said they received instructions to 'break down the door,' did you give that instruction?" and "Do you have any intention of apologizing for declaring martial law?" However, former President Yoon did not respond and got into the car immediately.

Afterward, Yoon Gap-geun, former President Yoon's legal representative, told reporters, "I will answer questions after the trial is completely finished."

The trial will resume at 2:15 p.m. that day.
