Yoon supporters flood jailed ex-leader with donations, nearly 5 times presidential salary

Jailed former President Yoon Suk Yeol received more than 1.2 billion won (794,000) in inmate funds during roughly eight months of detention, according to Justice Ministry data released Sunday by Rep. Park Eun-jung of the Rebuilding Korea Party. A source familiar with detention facilities told local outlet Chosun Biz that Yoon is known among fellow inmates for living relatively comfortably thanks to his large inmate fund balance.
