Jun Seok-youl

Jun Seok-youl is a former President of South Korea, who served from May 2022 until his suspension in December 2024. His presidency has been marked by significant controversy, including allegations of inciting rebellion, abuse of power, and obstruction of justice. Following a failed declaration of a state of emergency in December 2024, which was quickly overturned by the National Assembly, Jun faced severe political backlash and was suspended from office. He was arrested in January 2025 to prevent him from destroying evidence related to the numerous charges against him. His legal troubles have become a focal point in South Korea’s political landscape, reflecting the ongoing struggles within the nation’s democracy.
