About

Cho Eun-suk is a special prosecutor in South Korea leading the prosecution of former President Yoon Suk-yeol. Yoon was impeached following a failed attempt to impose martial law in 2024. Cho Eun-suk's team recently requested the death penalty for Yoon during proceedings at the Seoul Central District Court. The prosecution argues that Yoon's actions threatened the constitutional order. The case is highly significant, with legal observers suggesting that recent convictions related to Yoon's martial law decree have sealed his fate. The court is preparing to deliver its verdict and sentence on Yoon, and Cho Eun-suk's role in seeking the death penalty has placed her at the center of this politically charged legal battle.
