President Yoon Suk-yeol was detained and indicted on charges of leading rebellion related to the martial law incident, but the Seoul Central District Court decided to cancel his detention. The court determined that the indictment was filed after the detention period had already expired when calculated in actual hours. The court also raised questions about procedural clarity and investigative legality regarding the way the Corruption Investigation Office and prosecutors shared the detention period, finding that cancellation of detention was justified. President Yoon denied that the crime of rebellion was established and argued there was no risk of evidence destruction.
