Yun
Yun is a 64-year-old former president of South Korea who has become the first sitting president to face criminal prosecution. He was arrested in January and is accused of leading a coup, which could result in life imprisonment or even the death penalty. His presidency has been marked by controversy, particularly regarding his declaration of a state of emergency, which he justified by alleging that the opposition was sympathetic to North Korea. The Constitutional Court of South Korea is set to decide on his official removal from office, following his impeachment by the parliament in December.
