President Yoon Suk Yeol, who visited the hospital after attending the impeachment hearing, was found to have complained of health problems in advance and received permission from the detention center.

The Ministry of Justice said President Yoon Suk Yeol received medical treatment at the Seoul Detention Center yesterday (20th) in accordance with related laws and procedures such as the Penal Execution Act, and later visited outside medical facilities after being approved by the director.

A correctional authority official also told YTN in a phone call that the detention center had only basic medical equipment, which required testing and medical treatment through external hospital equipment.

Yoon explained that he received the treatment because his doctor told him to receive it for a month, but he could not postpone it anymore.

President Yoon, who attended the impeachment trial in person, reportedly booked a medical treatment at 7 p.m. tonight at the Armed Forces Seoul District Hospital.
