The North first reported on South Korea's political turmoil on Dec. 11, about a week after Yoon's botched martial law gambit.
Describing him as the "ringleader of the rebellion," the official state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported, "The investigation into puppet Yoon Suk Yeol, the ringleader of the rebellion, and his accomplices is under way."
Citing his public address last week in which Yoon defended it as governing state affairs while rejecting insurrection charges against him, it also said that Yoon had shifted responsibility for his "foolish" declaration of martial law onto opposition parties.
The KCNA further highlighted that senior military and police officials have been detained and suspended from their duties.
