Report from South Korea: Special Prosecutor Files Arrest Warrant on Opposition Candidate – Something Koreans Learned from the Democrat Party

For four years following his first term as US President, Democrats coordinated attacks on President Trump hoping to bankrupt the former president and imprison him until his death.

Every single charge was complete garbage and they knew it. They didn’t care. They wanted to destroy President Trump and persecute his supporters. The fact that they were destroying the country was not a concern for these wicked people who worked together to tyrannize former President Trump.

We know this first hand at The Gateway Pundit after several years of brutal attacks by the left in their quest to destroy us.

President Trump and the country survived this very dark period by the grace of God.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world was watching as Democrats crucified President Trump. Today we see similar efforts in Brazil and South Korea to destroy and imprison the innocent opposition candidates.

On Monday South Korea’s pro-China President Lee Jae-myung will meet with President Trump at the White House.

Last week Lee Jae-myung’s regime carrying out police raids on political opponents who dare raise questions about election fraud under the current pro-Chinese regime.

On August 20, armed police stormed the office of the Free and Innovation Party, led by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, under the guise of investigating so-called “election law violations,” according to our contact in South Korea, Kim Yu-jin.

On Monday a special prosecutor working for the current pro-Chicom South Korean president, filed an arrest warrant for the former president.

Here is information on the current developments from our sources inside South Korea.

They added this in today’s communication: Mr. Hoft, I believe these details are crucial for your readers. If published, they will show the world how South Korea’s judiciary is being weaponized in a political purge against its former President and senior officials.

1. Arrest Warrant Request for Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo

The special prosecutor filed an arrest warrant on August 24, 2025, against former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on six charges: aiding the ringleader of insurrection, perjury, falsification of official documents, destruction of official documents, violation of the Presidential Records Act, and use of falsified official documents.

The pre-trial detention hearing is scheduled for August 27 at 1:30 PM, presided over by Judge Jung Jae-uk of the Seoul Central District Court. This is the first arrest warrant ever requested against a former Prime Minister in Korean constitutional history.

Critical view: The Prime Minister is a subordinate of the President and has no structural authority to “aid” or “block” martial law. Accusing him of aiding insurrection is therefore a clear case of political purge. The stated grounds for detention—“risk of flight or evidence destruction”—are absurd when applied to a high-profile former Prime Minister, and serve only as a formal pretext to justify detention.

2. Coercive Investigations of Former Justice Minister Park Seong-jae and Former Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung

On August 25, the special prosecutor carried out raids on the residences and offices of Park Seong-jae (former Justice Minister) and Shim Woo-jung (former Prosecutor General), including the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, and the Seoul Detention Center.

The special prosecutor initially requested to seize ten months’ worth of data from Park’s cellphone, but the court limited access to just two days (December 3–4, 2024) immediately following the martial law declaration.

Critical view:

Park Seong-jae is accused merely because he was one of six ministers convened by President Yoon on the day of martial law, and because he held an internal meeting to “consider dispatching prosecutors” to the Joint Investigation Headquarters. These are routine official duties, being distorted into crimes.

Shim Woo-jung is accused because he did not file an immediate appeal against the court’s March 2025 decision to release President Yoon. Yet filing an appeal is discretionary, not mandatory. Charging him for “not appealing” is an invention of a crime where none exists.

The attempt to seize 10 months of private data demonstrates the prosecutor’s intent to search indiscriminately in order to fabricate charges, rather than investigate real crimes.

3. Judge Jung Jae-uk’s Precedents

Judge Jung Jae-uk of the Seoul Central District Court has repeatedly approved the special prosecutor’s arrest warrants.

He issued warrants for former First Lady Kim Keon-hee (August 13, 2025) and former Interior Minister Lee Sang-min, and now presides over the case of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo.

Article (Han Duck-soo hearing): https://www.chosun.com/national/court_law/2025/08/25/FBBCLC7VKFBF7NE2IGSATCNPUQ/

Critical view: Judge Jung has become effectively a “rubber-stamp judge” for the special prosecutor. Nearly every warrant requested has been granted, showing the judiciary aligning itself with a political prosecution rather than exercising independent judgment.

Core Argument – Accusing the Head of State of “Insurrection”

Insurrection is a crime meant for rebellious forces who rise against state power.

Yet the special prosecutor has redefined it to target the President himself—the head of state vested with constitutional authority to declare martial law.

Labeling the head of state as the “ringleader of insurrection” is a legal contradiction and a paradoxical subversion of constitutional order. It criminalizes the legitimate exercise of constitutional powers and sets a dangerous precedent that would leave any future president unable to defend the nation in an emergency.

Conclusion

The special prosecutor is conducting a political purge by branding former President Yoon Suk-yeol and his associates as a “coup faction,” extending to a former Prime Minister, ministers, a Prosecutor General, and even the First Lady.

First-ever arrest warrant against a former Prime Minister.

Normal official acts and discretionary judgments are criminalized.

Courts repeatedly approve the prosecutor’s warrants, endorsing the political narrative.

Above all, accusing the head of state of “insurrection” is a constitutional absurdity and a fabrication that undermines the foundations of democratic governance. It reveals not law, but a coordinated political purge with judicial complicity.

It reads just like the Democrat Party playbook here at home!
