US EditionSouth Korea Police Impose Travel Ban on Former PM Han and Ex-Finance Minister Choi
- South Korean police imposed travel bans in mid-May 2025 on former acting presidents Han Duck-soo and Choi Sang-mok amid an ongoing investigation.
- The travel bans followed a probe into their alleged roles in last year's short-lived martial law declaration by ex-president Yoon Suk-yeol, which triggered a constitutional crisis.
- Han, a former prime minister, and Choi, a former finance minister, were questioned by a special police unit on May 26 about their actions during Yoon’s December 3, 2024, martial law bid.
- Yoon declared martial law claiming government infiltration by hostile forces and deployed troops before parliament revoked the order hours later, while he now faces insurrection charges with possible life imprisonment or death penalty.
- The investigation and travel bans deepen political turmoil ahead of South Korea’s June 3 snap election to select Yoon’s successor amid disputes over Han and Choi's claimed resistance to the martial law move.
