Yoon Suk Yeol handed suspended term for election law violation

Ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol was convicted by the Seoul Central District Court for violating election laws during his 2022 presidential campaign. The court ruled that Yoon made false statements about his relationships with Yoon Woo-jin, a former tax office chief, and shaman Jeon Seong-bae. These statements were deemed to have influenced voters' decisions. As a result, the People Power Party, which supported Yoon, may be required to return 39.7 billion won in reimbursed election expenses to the National Election Commission. Yoon's legal team plans to appeal the ruling, with the Supreme Court expected to deliver its final verdict in early 2027.
