Lee Sangmin, the former Minister of the Interior and Safety, was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Seoul High Court on June 9, 2026, for his role in the December 3, 2024, emergency martial law declaration. He was convicted of insurrection and perjury during former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment trial. The court found that Lee relayed orders from Yoon to cut off electricity and water to media outlets critical of the administration. He was acquitted of abuse of authority charges. Regarding Kim Daeki, the provided search results contain no information. The documents do, however, detail a case involving a former prosecutor named Kim Sang-min, who was sentenced to three years of suspended imprisonment for violating anti-graft laws and the Political Funds Act regarding the solicitation of a nomination.
