Overview

• Former President Yoon Suk Yeol attended a screening of a documentary alleging election fraud, marking his first public appearance since his impeachment on April 4, aside from court hearings.
• The film, titled 'Election Fraud: A Work of God?', claims past elections were manipulated and questions the integrity of the upcoming June 3 presidential election.
• Yoon's attendance has been widely criticized as an attempt to energize his conservative base, with critics arguing it undermines public trust in South Korea's electoral system.
• The controversy adds to Yoon's ongoing legal troubles, as he stands trial for insurrection related to his December 2024 martial law declaration, which cited election fraud as a justification.
• Lawmakers are also pushing a bill to revoke security privileges for impeached ex-presidents, further intensifying the fallout from Yoon's removal from office.
