Yoon Suk Yeol’s 104°F Cell Standoff: Ex-President Thwarts Interrogation in Underwear

Yoon Suk Yeol, impeached South Korean ex-president, staged a surreal protest in a 104°F Seoul jail, refusing interrogation by lying on the floor in just prison-issued briefs. Trending searches include: “How do Korean prisons handle high-profile prisoners?” and “Why did Yoon resist arrest?” Prosecutor Oh Jeong-hee reported, “The suspect refused arrest while lying on the floor without wearing his prison-issued clothing.”
Launching his protest with a sleeveless top and briefs, Yoon foiled prosecutors’ arrest warrant as his cell baked at 40°C. New trending queries: “Can ex-presidents refuse interrogation in South Korea?” and “What legal rights do prisoners have?” Instead of the expected legal drama, the scene resembled a sauna showdown, his lawyer noting, “What kind of institution gives a real-time report… on a detainee’s clothing?”
Prosecutors confirmed Yoon’s attire—“sleeveless top and briefs”—as the “most appropriate way” to describe the situation, adding there was no information on the color of his underclothing.
