On November 4, 2026, a South Korean appeals court upheld former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s 18-month suspended sentence for spreading disinformation during his election campaign. The ruling could force the opposition to repay nearly $30 million. Yoon, previously sentenced to life imprisonment for insurrection, was impeached after declaring martial law in 2024. The court confirmed he violated election laws by making false statements, including lying about ties to a shaman.
