The detained president of Yoon Suk Yeol went through formal admission procedures at the Seoul Detention Center.

The acceptance number issued to President Yoon is 0010.


After conducting a thorough physical examination, I also took a mug shot, a photo of my face, wearing khaki inmate's uniform.

He will continue his life in solitary confinement of about 3.6 pyeong.

Earlier, he asked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to postpone the investigation due to health problems, but the Ministry of Justice explained that there is currently no problem with President Yoon's health.

Since he is an incumbent president, the correctional authorities have assigned a dedicated prison guard in consideration of security issues.

The Ministry of Justice drew the line, saying that it is consulting with the security service so that the inmate's account and the president's security can be carried out together, but it is definitely not a special courtesy.

[Kim Seok-woo / Acting Minister of Justice: Protecting the target person does not mean that you keep the courtesy. In the case of the incumbent president, security is an obligation to protect him even if he refuses..]

Regarding some radical supporters, including Rev. Jeon Kwang-hoon, calling for the rescue of President Yoon,
The Seoul Detention Center
affirmed that "there is no possibility of penetration" as it has several outer barbed wire fences, a security system, and patrols.

He then emphasized that if supporters attempt to enter the detention center without permission, such as crossing the fence, they will be arrested immediately.
