Rise in annual salary of suspended S. Korean President

The Straits Times

|

January 13, 2025

The annual salary of suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol has risen 3 per cent in 2025, according to the Ministry of Personnel Management on Jan 12.

The President, facing both trial at the Constitutional Court to confirm his impeachment and a separate investigation for allegedly leading an insurrection and committing abuse of power, now gets a monthly salary of 14.5 million won (S$13,500).

His annual salary for 2025 has been set at 262.6 million won, up 3 per cent from 254.9 million won in 2024. This adjustment was made in line with the annual salary rise for government officials, which also rose by 3 per cent.

Mr Yoon has been suspended from his duties since Dec 14, 2024, when the National Assembly passed an impeachment Bill against him 11 days after his botched martial law declaration.
