Former President Yoon Suk Yeol has failed to appear at the appointed time Tuesday morning for questioning by a special counsel.

Yoon was supposed to appear at special counsel Cho Eun-suk’s office at the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office at 9 a.m. Tuesday for a second round of questioning over the martial law incident.

It’s the first time Yoon has apparently defied a summons from the special counsel.

The special prosecution team plans to immediately set a new date and issue another summons. 

Earlier, the team said that if Yoon failed to appear for the second round of questioning, it would designate a date this week and demand he appear again. 

On Monday, Yoon’s lawyers asked for the interrogation to be delayed until Saturday or later, citing health and other reasons.
