Though he was still dressed decently, his white hair and poor face made it difficult for him to cover up. During his 18-minute bailout defense, he could only repeatedly state that his health had deteriorated sharply, making it difficult to support the frequent calls of the inspection group.According to previous South Korean media reports, Yin Xiyue's living environment in prison can be said to be "catastrophic".

The Cause of the Serious Liquidation Incident of South Korea's Political System Illness
On the surface, the martial law incident and the series of liquidation events it triggered are power checks and balances among the executive power, legislative power and judicial power in Korean * politics, but Essentially, it is still a power struggle between the two political forces of conservative and progressive forces, and camp politics is tearing South Korea’s democratic political order apart.
South Korea's political parties have a long history of fierce fighting, and its cruelty and intensity are rare in the world. South Korea’s “hate policy” continues to breathe new crises. Since the authoritarian rule of Li Yuan, the right-wing government has begun a long-term high-pressure strike on the left and the middle-wing forces in the Democratic Party, using imprisonment, torture, execution, etc. The left-wing Democrats in the field have a strong resentment of the right-wing government. Since then, due to the obvious opposition between the two factions in values and political tendencies, it is difficult to reach reconciliation on many issues. The two sides are reluctant to leave room for each other, and try to put political enemies to death, and the vicious cycle.
Shandong University deputy professor Huanchi believes that "confrontation and retaliation have become the basic model of Korean political party China-Korea interaction". although there are continuously politicians emphasize to strengthen the unity of the Korean, but from the current situation of Korean politics, South Korea's politics is getting farther and farther from "unity", and political polarization is further intensified.
As a key figure in factional dispute, the success or failure of the individual political leader has great influence on the political party itself The opposing camps can make "precise strikes" on the other party by liquidating the political party leader.This method is not only low-cost and often very effective, but it has also given birth to the extreme antagonism pattern under South Korea's "hate politics". Each camp often focuses on finding and attacking each other's weaknesses and "black history", using people's emotions to expand their influence, and using social contradictions to win over people.
Like the previous president, Yoon Seok-yue can't escape the chronic diseases of Korean politics such as "crony politics" and "human culture". It is precisely because of the serious internal struggle in Korean politics that Korean law gives the president strong power to maintain the domestic political balance. The president has absolute power over the country's major policies and the appointment and dismissal of government personnel. If the president excessively appoints cronies and closes his eyes to external different opinions, it will be difficult to contain the president. This system design defect has opened the door to South Korea's "cronies politics". Almost all successive presidents of South Korea have been implicated in corruption scandals of "cronies" and "people around them".
In addition to the above macro reasons, Yongxiang himself seriously underestimated the restriction of legislative power in Congress on his executive power, and overestimated the support of domestic and foreign forces for him, making him misunderstand that the initiation of the rule of law could succeed, and suppressed political enemies, and eliminated the judicial risk of friendship around him.However, the failure of martial law discredited Yin Xiyue, and arrests occurred one after another.
During Yin Xi Jinping's tenure, he has been pursuing "value diplomacy", effectively advancing relations with the United States, Japan and NATO, and achieving the escalation and major development of cooperation between the United States and South Korea. This gave him the illusion that even more drastic political actions at home would be acquiesced by these countries.In addition, because Yongxiang pursued liberal values and free-market economic policies, he gathered support from the conservative people of South Korea, especially from the far-right people. The intense words and actions of the far-right forces also mistakenly believed that the vast majority of the South Korean people supported him. Yongxiang also gathered a group of friendship as a senior official, which continued to strengthen his inherent awareness.
Before the martial law incident, the Democratic Party of Korea began to impeach senior officials of Yin Xiyue's government and conducted a special inspection investigation into Jin Jianxi. At that time, the public opinion environment was also changing towards a situation that was unfavorable to Yin Xiyue's side. Therefore, Yin Xi Jinping hoped to be able to focus alone, intimidate and even arrest political enemies through rule of law, in order to consolidate his political position.
However, the failure of Yin Ziyang's strict end gave the Co-Democratic Party a chance to fall under the rocks.In the National Assembly where the Democratic Party has a majority, they quickly urged Yoon Seok-yue to step down and promote impeachment proceedings. They also submitted and continuously promoted the passage of the proposal for the "Yoon Seok-yue Special Prosecution Law on Civil Unrest" and the proposal for the "Kim Jianxi Special Prosecution Law". The then Speaker of the National Assembly, Woo Won-sik, who was also a former member of the Democratic Party of Korea, launched a national affairs investigation into Yoon Seok-yue, and within ten days after martial law, passed the impeachment of the President of the Supervision Institute, the Prosecutor General of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, the Minister of Justice, and the police chief, etc., and dismissed many commanders of martial law forces, including the Capital Defense Commander, Special Operations Commander, and Counterintelligence Commander. None of his cronies were spared, and they were questioned one by one.
Summary
In summary, the tragedy that happened to Yinxiang personally is just a shadow of the Korean political tragedy. Because of historical reasons, the opposition and differentiation between the left-wing camps have increased, and attacking the party leader has become an important means of two-party struggle. The Korean cultural tradition has made political confidence unusual, and political leaders are often plagued by the corruption scandals surrounding them, being involved in the judicial process. While Yinxiang’s personal extremism and self-respect have made it unconsciously embarrassment action, further worsening the situation of himself and the people around him, the Qingdao magic” still like a shadow covered over the center of Seoul, but Korean politicians are still competing for the power of seduction for the president’s throne.
