SEOUL (Sputnik) – South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has been banned from leaving the country amid an investigation into temporarily martial law, the Yonhap news agency reported on Monday.

Earlier in the day, Oh Dong-woon said that he had instructed his investigators to request a travel ban for the country’s president, Yoon Suk-yeol, amid an investigation into temporarily martial law.
«I have instructed the investigators [to request a travel ban for the president], but this has not yet been implemented,» the official told lawmakers, as quoted by the Yonhap news agency.

The office of the parliamentary speaker, Woo Won-shik, said that the president’s declaration was invalid. Yoon withdrew the measure shortly after it took effect.
