In South Korea, the prosecutor’s office searched the house of former President Yun Sok Yolya as part of an investigation of the shaman, who is suspected of transferring expensive gifts to his wife Kim Gon Hoh. According to Yonhap, employees of the prosecutor’s office of the Southern District of Seoul arrived at the residence of the ex-president in the Sochaho-Don area of the city of Seoul in order to remove possible evidence.
according to investigators, after the election of Yun Joles by the president in 2022, a senior representative of the Church of the Association (also known as the “sect of Muna”) handed over to the shaman, known as Kon Chin (real name – Jung Song BE), a diamond necklace and an expensive bag for the subsequent transfer of the first lady.
Yun Sok Yol and his wife have previously been criticized for alleged ties with shamans. They were accused of postponing the presidential residence according to the shamanistic beliefs and decided to move on the advice of the “Shaman healers”. Yun himself denied these accusations.
Martial law announcement and impeachment
On December 3, 2024, Yun Sok Yol announced martial law in the country, accusing the opposition of “state-medical activities”. However, the parliament soon voted for the abolition of this decision, and the government was forced to abandon it.
On December 14, the National Assembly voted for removing the president from office to decision of the Constitutional Court. On April 4, 2025, the court approved the impeachment, considering the announcement of martial law by abuse of power.
After the detachment of Jun, it was announced that the elections of the new president would be held on June 3.
