🗞️ Yoon Suk-yeol Prison Statement Explained
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol made headlines on July 22, 2025, by releasing a handwritten prison statement via Facebook—his first in two months. In it, he claimed:
“This unjust political oppression should stop with me.”
He argued that his actions as president—including declaring martial law—were in defense of democracy. He further stated that innocent officials were now suffering unfairly under political pressure.
This Yoon Suk-yeol prison statement appeared to be a direct response to a brewing political situation involving his wife.
🎯 Link to Kim Keon-hee Special Counsel Summons
Just hours before the post, South Korea’s 3rd Special Counsel team summoned both:
- Yoon Suk-yeol for questioning on July 29
- Kim Keon-hee, his wife, for August 6
Kim faces several allegations including:
- Stock manipulation (Deutsch Motors case)
- Unification Church-related ties
- Influence in political nominations
This timing suggests that Yoon’s sudden public statement may be aimed at influencing public perception or supporting his wife as pressure mounts.
🧨 Political Fallout from Yoon Suk-yeol’s Message
Many observers noted contradictions:
- Yoon had previously blamed subordinates for his decisions.
- Despite claiming innocence, he has refused to attend court since his re-arrest on insurrection charges.
- The special counsel dismissed his political oppression claims as “not worth responding to.”
Political analysts say this Yoon Suk-yeol prison statement could be a strategic defense maneuver as both public and legal scrutiny intensify.
