The so-called "Blue House Curse" has been a consistent feature of South Korea's political history, with many presidents facing downfall after leaving office. While the curse has been linked to corruption scandals, imprisonment, or even death (as seen with past leaders like Park Chung-hee, Roh Moo-hyun, and Park Geun-hye), former President Moon Jae-in's post-office years have so far been uneventful.
Despite relatively smooth departure, the so called curse may not yet be fully lifted. The current administration under President Yoon Suk-yeol has focused on prosecuting high-profile figures, including former allies, which keeps the curse narrative alive. However, whether the problem will strike again depends on how Yoon navigates both internal political tensions and his complex relationship with past administrations. For now, it remains uncertain whether South Korea's political landscape will continue to be defined by this legacy of turmoil or whether a new era of stability will emerge.
As of now, there is no indication that South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol is facing imminent arrest or imprisonment. However, his administration is under scrutiny due to multiple scandals, including a campaign finance controversy involving a former lawmaker and his wife. While no charges have been filed directly against Yoon, the investigation continues, and the allegations could lead to political fallout.
It is possible that Yoon with declining approval ratings and public criticism, Yoon might face jail time in the near future.
