South Korean prosecutors raid ex-President Yoon's private residence, Yonhap reports

On April 29, 2025, South Korean prosecutors conducted a search at the former president Yoon Suk Yeol’s personal home, according to Yonhap News Agency.
The raid came after Yoon was removed from office on April 4 following the Constitutional Court’s ruling against his December 3, 2024, martial law declaration, which was found to be unconstitutional and severely flawed.
Prosecutors are probing allegations that shaman Jeon Seong-bae accepted valuable items, including a diamond necklace, an expensive handbag, and premium ginseng, which were reportedly meant for Yoon's wife, Kim Keon Hee.
Authorities are investigating whether the alleged delivery of gifts, including a $2,200 designer handbag, actually took place, amid earlier accusations linking Yoon’s family to religious figures and corruption.
The probe reflects ongoing scrutiny of Yoon's administration, which lost the April 2024 general elections and faced criticism over shamanistic influences and attempted suspension of civilian rule.
