Presidential special pardons
This combined photo shows former President Lee Myung-bak (L) and former South Gyeongsang Province Gov. Kim Kyoung-soo, a prominent liberal political figure close to former President Moon Jae-in, to whom President Yoon Suk Yeol granted special pardons for the new year on Dec. 27, 2022. The special pardons cancel the remaining 15 years of Lee's 17-year term, while Kim's two-year prison term on opinion-rigging charges was set to expire in May next year. (Yonhap)
