It has only been 85 days since then, and Yoon Seok Yuet was taken back to the Seoul Central District Court.
His hair is white, he has lost a lot of weight, he walks slowly, and his face is haggard. Standing in front of the camera, he can't believe that this is the former president of South Korea. Everyone doesn't care what he says now, they are all muttering in private, how did he become like this? What are you getting into again?
At the beginning of this year, South Korea's Constitutional Court ruled him unconstitutional, Said he secretly wanted to impose martial law when he was presidentThis judgment directed him to the president.
Three months later, the prosecutor prosecuted him again. Said he obstructed official duties and abused his powerThere were 11 serious crimes in the body, which added several, and the case was bigger and bigger.
This is not an ordinary corruption and bribery case. It involves the operation of the whole regime and the order of the country! The court verified that he actually used the pretext that "something big is going to happen to the country" to let the army come out to suppress it.
This "temporary martial law" not only made society more tense, but also became a key investigation item for the procuratorate.In South Korea’s history, no president has ever been publicly accused of “conspiracy.”
Even worse, his wife, Kim Jianghi, could not get involved.Han Hajue, the leader of South Korea's Unification Church, was arrested on suspicion of bribery.
Investigations have shown that he has delivered many benefits to Kim Jiangxi by sending high-cost artwork and providing political intermediation services.The prosecutor believes that behind this must be a religious consortium that wants to use money to exchange political power.
Faced with so many accusations, Jin Jianxi insisted that he had done nothing.When she appeared in court, there was no expression on her face, and the questions of the media were ignored.
South Korea's first lady went to court because of economic issues, this is the first time! everyone's attention to her has not decreased at all, every time there is a large number of journalists surrounded, taking all the details to the sky, became everyone's tea after dinner talks.
During the trial, some fragments were released to the public after they had been processed.This was not in accordance with the rules, but the court explained that this was to let everyone know the truth.
According to South Korean law, the defendant must appear in person, so Yongxian had to face the media and the South Korean people with a hard head.
However, this time is different from before, not a live broadcast, nor an accusation, Instead, he became the first president in South Korea's history to be captured during his term.
In January 2025, the Western District Court of Seoul issued an arrest warrant. On the same day, a bunch of supporters ran to the court door and turned into a pot, many people were injured, and the court was destroyed in many places.
This time, Korean politics is completely in chaos.Previous presidents, such as Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, were all prosecuted after stepping down. Yin Xiyue was investigated when he was president, and his political influence was more direct and scary.
His "treatment" is different. Not only is the time advanced, but the speed is also faster, and it is also so open.
Back then, he was a core figure in the procuratorial system, but now he has become a defendant. He also claims that he is not feeling well and requests an extension of the trial.
The doctor also said that his long-term mental stress was too great, nervous weakness, and suddenly lost ten kilograms.
The prosecutor’s office is also investigating whether he uses national security agencies to covertly monitor political opponents and those who disagree with him.
These investigations are not finished yet, but the court has arranged a trial schedule from October to December. What is certain is that Yin Xiyue will have to run back and forth between the court and the detention center in the future.
The position of president of South Korea, which looks quite powerful, is actually a high-risk occupation.From Lutheran foolishness, all the struggle, to Park Geun-hye, Li Ming-bo, and then to the present Yin Ziyu, over the past 30 years, Several presidents have been investigated, imprisoned, or even hard for corruption or abuse of power.This "fate of the president" is nothing new.
For the people, this endless political liquidation, on the one hand, demonstrates the independence of the judiciary, and on the other hand, makes everyone more alert to power.
In South Korea, it is difficult to clean power. Once it loses power, it will be liquidated quickly and ruthlessly, and there is no chance to breathe.
Some say that the current president Li Keqiang stood behind this judicial storm.Outdoors are guessing whether he would take this opportunity to fight political enemies and consolidate his position.
Lee Jae-myung came out and explained that he would not interfere with the administration of justice.Whether this is true or not, it will be time to see, but it is clear that since he took office, Korean politics has turned from a dark-ground dispute to an open confrontation.
Outside the courts, the conflict is escalating.
The prosecutor’s office was desperate to ask if Yin Ziyu had personally issued the order, while Kim’s team of lawyers sought to prevent the next call.
At the same time, the huge amount of money involved in the unification of the church was also caught up by the South Korean State Tax Office, and it is likely to spark a bigger political wave later.
Yin Xioyang, who now stands at the court door, lowly headed, not saying a word.He was in the prosecutor's office, but was specifically responsible for the investigation of the major cases, but now himself became a person entangled in the trial.
This change of role is not only a turning point in his personal destiny, but also makes the operation logic of the whole national system more complicated.
To this point, the case is no longer just a personal matter. It is related to the boundary of presidential power, the scale of judicial independence, and the expectations of ordinary people for political morality.
At each court hearing, not only one person is questioned, but also how far a system can go and how strong it can be.
South Korea's political reckoning seems to be endless forever. Will Yoon Seok-yue be the last president to be liquidated on this road? No one dares to guarantee it.
But one thing is for sure: the story continues, what happens next, every call, every evidence, and the sound of the trial.
