President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was released about 50 days after his arrest, reunited with his wife Kim Geon-hee. A presidential office official said on the 7th that President Yoon was reunited with his wife Kim Geon-hee at the Yongsan office in Seoul.
The couple returned to the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, and ate kimchi jjigae together with First Lady Kim, Chief of Staff to the Presidential Office Jeong Jin-seok, Director of the First Affiliated Office of the Presidential Office of the Presidential Security Service Kim Sung-Hoon, and others.
President Yoon was quoted as saying at the dinner table, "There is nothing wrong with my health. I've been sleeping well and have become even healthier," and adding, "Detention centers are places where even the president can learn a lot."
President Yoon reportedly embraced the wagging puppy as soon as he returned to the official residence, and after dinner he took the puppy into his room to rest.
President Yoon told staff in the presidential office, "The presidential office will continue to be unshakable for the sake of the nation and the people.
"I want you to work hard so that you can be at the center of national politics without being a leader," he said.
President Yoon was released from prison that afternoon. The previous day, the court decided to revoke the detention, stating that the prosecution had arrested and indicted President Yoon after his detention period had expired.
As a result of the court's decision and the prosecution's abandonment of its appeal, President Yoon will be able to return to the official residence for the first time in 52 days since he was arrested in January this year on charges of leading a civil unrest and incarcerated in Seoul Detention Center.
Immediately after his release, President Yoon said, "I am grateful to the Central District Court for their courage and determination in correcting the illegal situation. I also thank the many Koreans who have sent me their support despite the bitter cold weather.
President Yoon's legal team also said of President Yoon's release, "This is a grave step toward restoring the country's ruined rule of law to its original state."
"This will be the start of a new journey and a departure point of hope that we can make corrections one by one, even from now on," he said. "The president will work together with the people to the end to correct the rule of law."
