According to Yonhap News Agency reported that a relevant person in the South Korean Presidential Office said in a telephone interview with Yonhap News Agency on the 20th that the year-end amnesty list is expected to be reviewed and approved at the regular state council meeting on the 27th of this month. According to reports, given that the regular state affairs meetings held every Tuesday are usually hosted by the president and the prime minister in turn every other week, and the last meeting on the 20th was chaired by South Korean Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, the meeting on the 27th is likely to be chaired by Yin Xiyue.
According to reports, before this year's Liberation Day (August 15th), before the amnesty of Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong and some business people, Yin Xiyue presided over an interim state council meeting on August 12th and passed the amnesty proposal.
According to observations, the South Korean government is likely to announce the amnesty list on the afternoon of the day of the State Council (27th), and implement the pardon at 0:00 on the 28th the next day. The Ministry of Justice planned to hold a pardon review committee on the 23rd to review and report to the president the candidates for pardon. Analysis pointed out that the first amnesty since the establishment of the Yoon Seok-yue government was mainly for "economic prisoners", and this time it may be mainly for "political prisoners". Former President Lee Myung-bak is more likely to receive amnesty.
