Kim Hyun-tae, Head of Special Mission Unit, Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison and Taken into Custody
Kim Hyun-tae, who led the entry into the National Assembly building during martial law, has been sentenced to a heavy penalty in the first trial, bringing his actions back into the spotlight.
Actions from Immediate Post-Martial Law Press Conference to By-Election Candidacy
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.
Legal Repercussions for Actions Contrary to Public Memory
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.
