윤 전 대통령, "기대에 부응하지 못해 너무나 안타깝고 죄송"… 3실장, 1특보, 8 수석, 3차장 사의 The political fate of the prosecutor general-turned-president has ended in disgrace, with the remainder of his term cut short. After the ruling, he sent out a brief message. Our political correspondent Kim Do-yeon has the details. Shortly after the Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, Yoon laid out a brief message through his legal representatives. While he didn't directly mention the Constitutional Court's ruling, he thanked his supporters and said, "I am sincerely grateful for your unwavering support and encouragement, even when I fell short. I deeply regret not being able to live up to your hopes and expectations ." Meanwhile media caught the moment the phoenix flag, the symbol of South Korea's president, came down from the Yongsan Presidential Office building, signaling the end of President Yoon's 1,060-day presidency. "The Office will be supporting Acting President and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. But at around 3:30 PM, the Presidential Office released a written statement saying that the Chief of Staff, the Chief of Staff for Policy, the National Security Advisor — along with all senior level secretaries — expressed their intent to resign." The Acting President, however, rejected the resignations a few hours later, saying that the government needs to be in full operation. As for Yoon, however, he has now become a civilian. While he is still at the Presidential Residence and will have to leave, there are no clear rules for that, so we will have to wait. Former president Park Geun-hye left the former presidential Blue House two days after her ruling. Yoon is expected to return to his home in the Seocho-gu District of Seoul. From this point on, he will not be treated as a former president due to Friday's ruling. This means no presidential pension or a spot at the National Cemetery. The Presidential Security Service will no longer be fully protecting him, but because he has state confidential information, there will be a downsized security team to at least guarantee his safety for at least five years and ten at the maximum. This also ties into his criminal trial. It'll now be much easier for the prosecutors to call Yoon in for further questioning, as he won't have an official security system around him. That wasn't the case until now, as we had seen some conflict between the investigators for the criminal case and the Presidential Security Service. In South Korea's legal system, if Yoon is convicted of leading an insurrection, he could face life in prison or the death penalty.
