The embattled leader has failed to appear for questioning over the temporary declaration of martial law for the second time in a week.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has refused to be summoned for questioning on his mini martial law declaration for the second time in a week.
Yoon did not appear for questioning on suspicion of conspiracy and abuse of power after being ordered to the High-level Corruption Investigation Office in Gwacheon, south of Seoul, at 10am on Wednesday.
Yoon previously failed to respond to separate subpoenas from prosecutors on December 15.
Yoon, who served as the country's chief prosecutor before entering politics, has been suspended from his post since December 14. where the Legislature voted to repeal it by a vote of 204-85.
Currently, the Constitutional Court of Korea is considering whether to agree with this decision and remove Yoon from his position, which must be approved by at least six of the nine judges.
The court has scheduled the first hearing of the case on December 27 and it may take up to six months to deliver its verdict.
A new election will be held within two months if Yoon's removal is confirmed.
Yoon's brief announcement on December 4 stunned South Korea, plunging the country into its worst political crisis in years.
Yoon, who said the announcement was to combat “anti-government forces”, has defended his actions as legitimate and vowed to “face” any investigation against him.
