On June 25, 2025, the court in Seoul will decide on a new arrest warrant against former Defense Minister Kim Yong-Hyun.

Problems for the political elites

The effects of this crisis not only affect top policy, but also the security forces: the commissioner of the national police, Cho Ji-Ho, is also the focus, since he was interrogated as a suspect in connection with these events. This is the first time that an incumbent police chief in South Korea is on trial. The pressure on other high-ranking civil servants, including Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo, also grows because they may be held accountable.

The current events also raise questions about the future of the political landscape in South Korea. The opposition parties could be in a stronger position while the government is criticized not only to endanger public security, but also to trust the institutions.

The developments therefore remain exciting and could have a decisive influence on political stability in South Korea. It remains to be seen whether the allegations against the former minister and the ongoing investigation against the former president will change the political stage. South Korean society seems to be interested in clarification of the incidents and a reform of the political structures.
