Can you imagine a former president and first lady jailed at the same time — and the personal data of 5 million citizens seized by the regime?
In 2025, this nightmare has become my reality. This is not justice.
It is a planned political purge that should alarm everyone who values freedom, the rule of law, and the U.S.-Korea alliance.
A First in History — and a Dangerous Precedent
On January 19, 2025, former President Yoon Suk-yeol was arrested on vague “evidence tampering” charges.
Prosecutors alleged he tried to conceal certain records, yet presented no clear evidence or case outline.
He was detained for 52 days until March 8, when a court ruled his detention had “seriously violated his right to legal defense” and ordered his release.
But the authorities ignored this ruling. On July 10, Yoon was arrested again on nearly identical charges. The court rejected his appeal and sent him back to prison — raising serious concerns of double jeopardy and judicial abuse.
Then, on August 12, something never before seen in South Korea’s democracy occurred. Former First Lady Kim Keon-hee was immediately jailed on the order of the Seoul Southern District Court.
The warrant was issued without sufficient investigation or evidence — based solely on a claim of “possible evidence destruction.” Legal experts inside and outside Korea agree this decision fails to meet both domestic and international standards of justice.
The simultaneous jailing of a former president and first lady is no coincidence. It is a political move to eliminate all opposition.
