What was cancelled after Yoon Suk-yeol granted Lee Myung-bak a pardon in 2022?

  • His political legacy

  • His financial debt

  • The remaining 15 years of his prison sentence

  • His right to stand for elections

Answer

Following Yoon Suk-yeol's pardon of Lee Myung-bak, the former president's outstanding 15-year prison term was effectively nullified. This act of clemency brought an end to Lee's ongoing legal battles stemming from corruption charges, culminating in his release from incarceration. The decision generated significant debate and mixed reactions, with some lauding it as a gesture of reconciliation while others criticized it for undermining the pursuit of justice.
