Kim Hyun-tae, head of the 707th Special Mission Unit, who led troops into the National Assembly building during martial law, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and taken into legal custody in the first trial. This incident is related to the national outrage over the destruction of National Assembly windows and forced entry.
Immediately after martial law, Unit Commander Kim Hyun-tae held a press conference in Yongsan and defended President Yoon Suk-yeol regarding the testimony of former Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-geun about the order to enter the National Assembly. This led him to become a hero for Yoon Suk-yeol's faction, and he later ran in the Gyeyang-gu by-election.
The incident of breaking into the National Assembly through its windows remains an event remembered by the entire nation. Unit Commander Kim Hyun-tae displayed a 'zigzag' pattern of behavior, seemingly trying to capitalize on President Yoon Suk-yeol's rising approval ratings during the impeachment phase. However, he ultimately faced judicial judgment for these actions with a heavy sentence from the court.
